Molecules containing inert elements should not exist.

In fact, people have never observed any natural existence on the earth. of molecules containing inert elements. But about a decade ago, astronomers stumbled upon these compounds in space.

I first glimpsed the northern lights on a red-eye flight across the Atlantic. Just a few pale wisps in the night sky were enough to get me hooked on the celestial phenomenon, and my aurora chasing has since brought me to Greenland, Iceland, and Churchill, Canada.

Many airports around the world are applying AI, smart gate allocation and changing boarding methods to reduce flight delays. According to airports, in theory, cutting flight time by a few minutes may not seem significant, but this can help airlines save a lot of money. That also means services for tourists will be improved. Arriving a few minutes early can make the difference between catching up or missing your connecting flight, reducing the domino effect of delays and flights arriving more on time. The approaches being implemented by airports could help air travel operate more efficiently in the future.
