7 Unsolved Mysteries That Scientists Can't Explain

🔮Scientists are still trying to figure out the phenomenon of ball lightning and its relationship to thunderstorms.

⚡Skyquakes, also known as thunder without lightning, have been reported for centuries and their source is still unknown.

📡Fast radio bursts (FRBs), high-energy pulses from space, have been detected but their origin remains a mystery.

🌟Star jelly, a dark substance found on rocks, has been attributed to various sources including frogspawn and gel-forming organisms.

🌲Forest rings, circular patterns of stunted tree growth, may be caused by underground metal deposits or excess electric charge.

What is ball lightning?

—Ball lightning refers to strange glowing orbs of light that can last from seconds to minutes and have been observed during thunderstorms.

What are skyquakes?

—Skyquakes are loud thunder-like booms that occur in clear skies. The source of these sounds is still unknown.

What are fast radio bursts (FRBs)?

—Fast radio bursts are high-energy pulses from space that last only a few milliseconds. Their origin remains a mystery.

What is star jelly?

—Star jelly refers to a dark substance found on rocks, which may be the result of various natural processes or organisms.

What are forest rings?

—Forest rings are circular patterns of stunted tree growth that can be caused by factors such as excess electric charge or underground metal deposits.
