Earth has two poles: North and South. A magnet will also show these two poles. No matter how you hold it, the magnet either points to the north pole or the south pole.
When someone separated from someone, he said, 'We will be like the north and south poles, we will never meet again.' Because the north pole is one side of the earth and the south pole is the other side. These two never meet.
Who discovered north pole of the earth first?
Well, let's leave these things and let go of who discovered the North Pole. Many scientists from different countries tried to explore the North Pole over the last 300 years. Tried to get there However, it killed many people. Among them, was the American explorer Robert E. Perry. He reached the summit of the North Pole on 6 April 1909 and reported from Indian Harbor, Labrador that he had reached the summit of the North Pole.
Frederick A. Cook also claimed to have reached the North Pole a year before Perry. Perry managed to reach the summit of the North Pole on his third attempt. After reaching the North Pole and returning, both Perry and Cook published books claiming that they had reached the North Pole for the first time. Due to the dispute between them, the book sold well.
If there was technology like now, it would have been possible to take photos, and by using GPS technology, it would have been possible to record detailed information including the height and direction of all the roads traveled. However, where to get such technology in 1909?
Interesting Facts about North Pole
- The compass shows the North Pole as the place called the 'North Deep Pole'.
- The geomagnetic field of the North Pole is shifting now more than it was several centuries ago. Previously known as Greenland, now it has moved to Canada as the geomagnetic force that shows the North Pole.
- In some cases, the question of which is the north pole of the earth is also raised. According to scientists, there are four places called the North Pole. In the same way, the North Pole declared in 1953 is Alaska. The remaining three North Poles lie hundreds of miles south.
- At times, big nations have claimed that the North Pole is mine. In 2007, Russia used a submarine to stand the national flag at the bottom of the Arctic sea in the geographical area of the North Pole.
- Investigation shows that there are reserves of mineral oil and gas at the North Pole.
- The North Pole has 30% of its pure drinking water reserves frozen in the form of ice.

Who discovered the moons of Jupiter?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and it is the largest planet in the solar system it is also larger than our home which is Earth. Talking about planets and satellites reminds me of my village life. The people of the village knew Venus. Among some other stars in the sky, they also knew the pole star. And they also knew the tail star. Village and family elders used to tell us many interesting stories about this star.
The tail star was known for its long-spread tail. But, how would they recognize the Pole Star and Venus? I wonder now. Among these stars of the solar system, Jupiter is a unique planet. This planet is one of the planets with many moons.
The largest planet in our solar system 'where the earth is also located' is Jupiter. Compared to Earth, Jupiter is the size of a basketball and Earth is the size of a table tennis. Earth has only one moon, but Jupiter has dozens of moons, which orbit Jupiter. Jupiter has four giant moons, which were discovered by the scientist Galileo Galilei in 1610.
In 1608, Galileo learned that the Dutch astronomer Hans Lippersay had built a telescope that was three times clearer than ordinary glass. He took inspiration from this and started building a powerful telescope. After continuous testing, he discovered that if a weak convex lens and a strong concave lens are used, one can see clearly from far away.
He built a telescope that was 30 times more powerful than the one built by Hans Lippershey. Using this telescope, he discovered that Jupiter has four moons. Because of his discovery, the moon was named the 'Galilean moon'. However, more than 67 moons of Jupiter have been discovered so far. However, those moons are much smaller in size than the four moons discovered by Galileo.
Interesting facts about Jupiter
- Before Galileo discovered Jupiter, people knew about this planet for a long before 2700 to 2800 years ago, the people of ancient Babylon knew about this planet.
- Jupiter has a shorter day than the other seven planets because it revolves around the Sun very quickly. Jupiter orbits the Sun in 9 hours and 55 minutes. So there are days of about 10 hours only.
- Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, which orbits Jupiter.
- Like Earth, Jupiter has a magnetic force. Its magnetic power is stronger than that of any other planet in the solar system. Jupiter's magnetic force is 14 times stronger than Earth's.
- Earth's atmosphere is made of oxygen, while Jupiter's atmosphere is covered by clouds.
