In spite of the fact that the age of discovery has long gone, our world still gives us enough opportunities to explore other things, albeit little. There will always be things that not many people will know. Ranging from watching solar eclipse in space to how koalas are weighed — the world around us always has something interesting that may surprise even know-it-alls!
