Learn The Incredible Facts And Secrets Of The Fiery Wonders Of The Universe, Moons And Stars.

There are over 194 moons in the solar system.

The Earth's moon is also called Luna.

Planet Mars has two moons named Phobos and Deimos which is transcribe from latin as fear and panic.

Saturn has the highest amounts of moons in the solar system, 82 moons.

The Earth's moon is the second densest moon in solar system.

The Moon is in a state known as tidal interlocking and hence doesn't rotate.

Every year, the Moon shifts 3.8cm away from the Earth.

Studies have now shown that the moon doesn't only affect ocean tides, it also affect the rocks on the Earth making them to rise and fall just like the ocean.

Pluto has 5 moons orbiting it.

Most stars are red dwarfs.

VY Canis Majoris is a star so big that it would engulf the entire orbit of Saturn.

The closest star to us, Proxima Centauri would take 70,000 years to get to with our most advanced technology.

The average star is between 1 and 10 billion years old.

Any star that you can see in the sky at night is bigger and brighter than the Sun.

Stars have different colors even when you look up at them in the night even though they all appear to have the same color.

On a clear night you can see as far as 19 quadrillion miles up into the sky as a star called Deneb in the constellation Cygnus is 19 quadrillion miles away. It is mostly visible in fall and winter.

With your best vision and the clearest night sky one can only see about 2500 stars in the sky.

Hypernovas are ultra energetic supernovas(explosion of a massive star) and they result in the birth of a black hole and are also associated with the release of a gamma ray burst, one of the most massive explosions that can ever be created.

The biggest star known is a red hypergiant known as NML Cygni and would take 1600 Suns to fill it, it is also twice the size of Betelgeus.

Betelgeus is so massive it would consume the entire orbit of Jupiter, its energy output is the equivalence of 120,000 suns.
