An Enchanted World

Our world is enchanted — and if you need proof, just turn to science. We've collected 10 of our favorite awe-inspiring science stories to remind you just how amazing the world really is. From the 1.5 million penguins that we didn't know existed until recently to the mysterious "sky glow" named "Steve." From the microbes that can't live without light but thrive in complete darkness deep in the water to the massive throne of diamonds that shimmer from hundreds of miles below us.

The world is amazing, see for yourself.

1. The terms "science" and "enchanted" seem to be at cross purposes here.

"Enchanted" means "under an enchantment", that is, a chanted magic spell.

"Amazing" might have been the better choice throughout.

2. Some don't bother to think about the words before ever using them.

"Where's the fire," after all. What's the rush?

Your calling attention to "enchanted" provided a look at the word I had never actually realized. Consciousness isn't automatic, is it?

Thanks for taking a moment to attempt to provoke a thought or two.
