While pirates are often associated with doubloons (gold coins), pieces of eight (silver coins), and treasure maps, there is no historical record of pirates specifically seeking "parrot crackers". This is a playful twist on the stereotype of a pirate with a parrot on his shoulder. However, they would have likely sought food of all kinds, not specifically crackers for a parrot.

The World’s Most Precise Calendar

The Persian Solar Hijri calendar, based on the ancient Jalali calendar, is often considered the most precise widely used calendar for tracking the solar year.

Its New Year, Nowruz, begins at the exact astronomical vernal equinox, keeping it closely aligned with the seasons.

Key point:
The Gregorian calendar is the global civil standard, but the Persian calendar is more tightly linked to the real movement of the Sun and the start of spring.

Hottest planet:

•Although Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system due to its thick, toxic atmosphere that traps heat. Its average surface temperature is around 467 degrees Celsius (872 degrees Fahrenheit).
