10: Tupolev Tu-144
It's not every day you find an old Tupolev Tu-144 aircraft sitting in the backyard of what appears to be a giant mansion on the side of the road in Kazan. While the true story behind how this aircraft came to be parked awkwardly between the enormous house and its brick wall is vague to say the least, the story behind the aircraft itself is pretty cool.

9: Viking DNA
We typically think of Vikings as incredibly ferocious warriors from Scandinavia with pale white skin and long blonde hair. But in fact, the reality behind Viking DNA is incredibly complex, at least according to an archaeology professor from Simon Fraser University.

8: Accidental Shipwreck
Divers from Finland made an extremely unexpected discovery when they were exploring the depths of the Baltic Sea. They stumbled upon a very well-preserved shipwreck that dates back nearly 400 years.

7: The Microwave
Perhaps one of the best unexpected discoveries in history is the microwave. These are commonplace items for us today, with at least 90% of American homes owning a microwave. But its creation was a complete accident that happened over 70 years ago when an engineer named Percy Spencer was in the middle of testing a military-grade magnetron – and realized his testing had melted his snack.

6: Algae Produce Oil
Algae is not typically very interesting stuff. This is the blue-green ocean fuzz that grows on the sides of ships and floats across the ocean. Algae is everywhere, and until now nobody thought it was very important other than for producing oxygen. But a recent study has shown an unexpected ability of algae.

5: Bronze Age Settlement
In Poland, a new and unexpected archaeological discovery uncovered an ancient settlement on the outskirts of Warsaw, and the discovery has been dated to before the time when Jesus was born. The discovery itself was a complete fluke. It happened after a plot of land was being inspected for the construction of a new swimming pool.

4: Left or Right?
Almost forever, scientists have thought that there is a single gene that determines whether a person is going to be left-handed or right-handed. They have believed that there is one dominant gene that causes about 90% of people to favor their right hand.

3: Prehistoric Shark
During the excavation of a ranch in Kansas, researchers accidentally stumbled upon the fossil of an undiscovered type of shark that is 91 million years old. This fossil was preserved in sediments which would have been at the bottom of an ancient ocean known as the Western Interior Seaway, which covered much of the middle of North America from between 144 million and 66 million years ago.

2: Life on Venus
A new accidental discovery is suggesting there may be life living in the clouds of Venus. That's right, the planet hanging out in our solar system. Telescopes detected unusually large concentrations of a molecule known as phosphine.

1: Oldest Star in the Universe
One of the oldest known stars in our universe is known as J0815+4729. That's not a great name, but that's what the scientists who discovered it called it. It's located 5000 light years away from Earth in the Lynx constellation, and according to some new and unexpected research, this star has been hiding some serious secrets.
