GPS satellites clocks tick faster then here on Earth.
Thus the need to modify the signals time stamps. It's an Einstein thing. |

Relativistic effects due to high speeds (slows clock down, the closer to light speed the slower it becomes) and weak gravity (increases clock speed). The clocks run about 38 microseconds faster per day. |

In Ireland, before the 19th century, a "cow's grass" was a measurement used by farmers to indicate the size of their fields. A cow's grass was equal to the amount of land that could produce enough grass to support a cow.

Scientists have named and classified around 1.5 million species of sea creatures, and there is as much as 50 million species we have yet to discover.
