A mixed-race British couple, Dean Durrant and Alison Spooner, achieved something very rare and entered the Guinness World Records. What was that? They gave birth to twins with different skin colors twice! First, they welcomed biracial twins, Hayleigh and Lauren, who had different skin tones and eye colors. Hayleigh got her father’s darker skin, and Lauren looked more like their mother with blue eyes and fair skin. When their mom got pregnant for the second time, no one expected what happened! The couple was expecting twin girls again, who also had different skin colors! Even the dad himself was surprised…

The video uploaded by a father who recorded his wife’s belly in amazement already has more than 7 million views on YouTube. Every pregnant woman knows what the baby’s movements are inside the belly. In addition to being one of the reasons that many moms have insomnia at night, it is also one of the best symptoms that indicates a good state of fetal health. But what happened to these dads surprises and impresses more than 7 million YouTube users. This father began recording his wife’s belly and clearly captured how the baby moves violently inside the womb, so aggressively…
A couple dreamed of having a large family, but their road was long and ᴘᴀɪɴꜰᴜʟ. They already had a little girl, but they wanted at least one more little brother or sister for her. They faced ᴛʀᴀɢᴇᴅɪᴇs but never ʟᴏsᴛ hope. In 2011, they finally got the news that they were going to be parents to twins. They were sʜᴏᴄᴋᴇᴅ when they found out that they were actually going to have two sets of twins! Miranda and Josh Crawford, both nurses by profession, tried for years to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ naturally but were unsuccessful. The two resorted to ɪɴ ᴠɪᴛʀᴏ ꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ (IVF)…
An unsuspecting teenager only discovered she was pregnant when she was five centimeters dilated and in ʟᴀʙᴏʀ, after having no bump, sɪᴄᴋɴᴇss, or ᴄʀᴀᴠɪɴɢs. 18-year-old Bry Blanton, from South Carolina, said that one day she woke up with a sharp ᴘᴀɪɴ and felt that her sheet was wet. Frightened, she called her mother, 36-year-old Jennifer Blackwell. When the woman saw her daughter, she immediately decided to take her to the hospital. After a doctor’s examination, it turned out that Blanton was pregnant and in ʟᴀʙᴏʀ. This news shocked both the woman in ʟᴀʙᴏʀ and her mother, because previously Blanton had…
Few things manage to move us in these rather difficult times. One of them is this photo of a little boy assisting his mother in labor. When Hollie Lou, a woman from Ohio, USA, became a mother for the third time last year, she needed support and emotional support from those around her. She had an impressive team of doctors with her, but also her 9-year-old son, Charlie, who always stayed by his mother’s side and assisted her throughout the labor. He even assisted the doctors throughout the birth. Hollie says she didn’t for one second ask her son to…
Erin Boelhower, of Illinois, spent years trying to ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇ a child with her husband, Matthew. Over the course of three years, she underwent nine ɪɴ ᴠɪᴛʀᴏ ꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ (I.V.F) transfers, taking more than 600 ɪɴᴊᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴs in the process. But nothing worked, and Boelhower, now 33, ultimately suffered a string of ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇs. It was after the fourth ᴍɪsᴄᴀʀʀɪᴀɢᴇ that Boelhower’s best friend, 34-year-old Rachel Checolinski, proposed something extraordinary: She wanted to be the couple’s surrogate. “I had been there through all of Erin’s ɪɴꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴛʏ ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛᴍᴇɴᴛs, I cried with her when she lost each one of her babies,” Checolinski told SWNS. “I would…
British twins were ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ via I.V.F and were born when their mother was 22 weeks pregnant. After five months of hospitalization, a family in the UK was finally able to celebrate the going home of the country’s most premature twins, who were born at 22 weeks and five days. The siblings had a zero percent chance of surviving birth, according to medical statistics. Little Harley and Harry Crane, from Derby, were ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇɪᴠᴇᴅ via ɪɴ ᴠɪᴛʀᴏ ꜰᴇʀᴛɪʟɪᴢᴀᴛɪᴏɴ and were born about a week before the 24-week limit on which legal ᴀʙᴏʀᴛɪᴏɴs are allowed in Britain. Babies born at so few weeks…
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) both ended 2022 and started 2023 on a very high note as its first-ever lunar orbiter, Danuri, sent back black-and-white images of the Earth with the Moon’s surface in the foreground that were photographed between December 24 and January 1, KARI announced in a January 3rd statement. Both the images and videos were taken less than 120 kilometers (75 miles) above the Moon’s surface, and will be “used to select potential sites for a Moon landing in 2032,” KARI added in the statement. As stated, Danuri, also known as the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter…
In a recent study published in Science, a team of researchers at Imperial College London examined 18 meteorites containing the volatile element zinc to help determine their origin, as it has been long hypothesized that Earth’s volatiles materials, including water, were derived from asteroids closer to our home planet. However, their results potentially indicate a much different origin story. “Our data show that about half of Earth’s zinc inventory was delivered by material from the outer Solar System, beyond the orbit of Jupiter,” Dr. Mark Rehkämper, a professor in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial, and a…
The cosmic zoo contains objects so bizarre and extreme that they generate gravitational waves. Scorpius X-1 is part of that strange collection. It’s actually a binary pair: a neutron star orbiting with a low-mass stellar companion called V818 Scorpii. The pair provides a prime target for scientists hunting for so-called “continuous” gravitational waves. Those waves should exist, although none have been detected—yet. “Scorpius X-1 is one of the most promising sources for detecting these continuous gravitational waves,” said Professor John Whelan from Rochester Institute of Technology’s School of Mathematical Sciences. He’s the principal investigator of RIT’s group in the LIGO…
In a recent study scheduled to be published in the journal Icarus in March 2023, a team of researchers led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) modeled a potential correlation between an ancient freezing ocean with cryovolcanic flows and surface canyons on Pluto’s largest moon, Charon. Their hypothesis was that when Charon’s interior ocean froze long ago, the significant stress put on the icy outer shell from the addition of more ice to the bottom of the existing shell could have been responsible for the cryovolcanic flows on the surface. In the end, the researchers found a freezing interior ocean…
Back in 2008, astronomers made a big announcement: for the first time, they had taken pictures of a multi-planet solar system, much like ours, orbiting another star. At the time, the star system, named HR8799 was known to have three planets, but follow-up observations a year later revealed a fourth world. Astronomers have continued to watch this intriguing star system, and now, using observations from the last 12 years, astrophysicist Jason Wang has put together a time lapse video showing the orbital motions of the four planets. “Astronomical events either happen too quickly or too slowly to capture in a…
