Discover The Marvels And Facts Of Our Intricate Universe. Explore Astronomy, Planets, Galaxies, and Stars Secrets.

Our Moon's name is LUNAR.

Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system and has an average surface temperature of around 450° C. This is because it has no atmospere.

The number of estimated stars in the milky way galaxy(ours) is between 200-400 billion stars.

Halleys comet won't orbit past Earth again until 2061. Discovered in 1705 by Edmond Halley, the famous comet was last seen in 1986 and is only seen once every 75 to 76 years.

A full NASA space suit costs $12,000,000. While the entire suit costs a cool $12m, 70% of that cost is for the backpack and control module.

Even though they have a radius of only about 10km, Neutron stars can spin up to 700 times per second.

There may be a planet made of diamonds. Research by Yale University scientists suggests that a rocky planet called 55 Cancri e which has a radius twice Earth’s, and a mass eight times greater may have a surface made up of graphite and diamond. It’s 40 light years away but visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Cancer.

The footprints left behind by astronauts on the moon will be there for 100 million years, this is because there is no atmospere on the moon to erode the prints left behind.

Sugar was found in meteorites. A team discovered ribose and other bio-essential sugars including arabinose and xylose in two different meteorites that are rich in carbon.

A ticket to space could cost you anywhere from $250,000 to tens of millions of dollars.

Astronauts can't cry in space.

Astronauts can't fart in space. This explains why astronaut food doesn't include freeze-dried beans, Intestinal hydrogen and methane of men fed space diet.

Space is very, very cold roughly 2.7 Kelvin (-270.45 Celsius, -454.81 Fahrenheit). This is mostly due to a lack of atmosphere and the vacuum-like nature of space

In space, astronauts lose fluid volume including up to 22% of their blood volume. Because it has less blood to pump, the heart will atrophy. When gravity is taken away or reduced during space exploration, the blood tends to collect in the upper body instead, resulting in facial edema and other unwelcome side effects.

The environment of space is lethal without appropriate protection, the greatest threat in the vacuum of space derives from the lack of oxygen and pressure, although temperature and radiation also pose risks.

Astronauts on the International Space Station are testing a new way to drink filtered pee.

Red stars are actually the coolest stars while blue stars are the hottest, Unlike the conventional analogy of associating red to hot objests and blue to cold objects

Stars are black bodies. In the case of a star, it absorbs all radiation that falls on it, but it also radiates back into space much more than it absorbs. Thus a star is a black body that glows with great brilliance.

On a really exceptional night, with no Moon and far from any source of lights, a person with very good eyesight may be able to see 2000-2500 stars at any one time.

Our sun is a dwarf star, Technically, as far as “normal” stars go (that is, astronomical objects that produce their own energy through sustained and stable hydrogen fusion), there are only “dwarfs,” “giants” and “supergiants.” with that, our sun is a dwarf star.
