What Did You Learn Today?

I swear to Luna this used to be a thread but I can't find it for the life of me. So I'm making it myself and if it does already exist the mods can merge it. 

Title is self-explanatory, post and tell us about something you learned today.

I learned about the Russian word "Мусенька". Which, as far as I understand, seems to more or less be a nonsensical cutesy type word you'd use for a pet or younger sibling. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, native speakers

Today I learned that the dorsal fins of blue whales are closer to their tails than their heads. Also, as of typing this, googling Blue Whale shows an AI image that is clearly a combination of a humpback whale and a great white shark as the first result.

How does one say Мусенька?

I believe it's pronounced along the lines of "Moo-seen-kaa".
