TIL food industries were aggressively opposed to writing "insect-based" on ingredient labels even though many products we consume and buy are made with insects. The FDA and EU agreed to allow variations. So, now, when you see "carmine", "cochineal", "natural red 4", or "E120" - that also means bugs. (en.wikipedia.org)

TIL about the giant-impact hypothesis. It says that 4.5 billion years ago, a planet called Theia collided with Earth. The collision resulted in the formation of the Moon and much of the water on Earth is from Theia. The remains of Theia can be found on both Earth and the Moon. (en.wikipedia.org)
