Top 10 space facts
Astronomers keep learning new exciting facts about space almost every day faraway galaxies bizarre spinning stars mind-boggling planets where it rains glass how many more surprises does the universe have for us humans.
1. Unknown Space facts: Uranus facts
A day on Uranus last 17 hours 14 minutes and 24 seconds but since the planet has a tilt of around 98 degrees a season on this gas giant last 21 earth years.
2.Unknown Space facts:Star facts
A star 50 light-years away from Earth has 90 percent of its mass crystallized and its interior is made of carbon that means the star named Lucy is the biggest diamond ever found the densest objects in space are neutron stars they are the size of a small city yet their mass is about one-and-a-half times that of our Sun a single teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh a billion tons and the gravity on a neutron star is 2 billion times stronger than the gravity on our planet heavy.
3. Unknown space facts:Propagation of sound.
On Earth sound travels to our ears
through vibrating air molecules but in space the empty areas between stars and planets are well molecule as' that's why the sound can't travel and we can't hear anything.
4.Unknown space facts:Hottest planet.
planet with its intense.
5.Unknown Space facts:Mars ring.
Mars has two moons Phobos and Deimos in the next 30 to 50 million years the planet's gravitational forces will tear Phobos apart it'll probably result in the formation of a ring around Mars Saturn's rings were discovered all at once it happened gradually and they were named alphabetically in the order the scientists found them they go like this d CB a FG is pronounced depa fudge,moon is the closest natural satellite to the Sun,Mercury and Venus which are closer to the Sun than our planet don't have satellites at 4.6 billion years old.
6.Unknown space facts:Sun facts.
The Sun is a middle-aged star it's halfway through its life and is known as a yellow dwarf after becoming a senior and burning up all its fuel the Sun will swell into a red giant and swallow Mercury Venus and Earth then it will shrink down and turn into a white dwarf.
7.Unknown space facts:Moon facts
moon is not an ideal sphere it's shaped more like an egg because of the Earth's gravity small hard dust is all over the moon it makes astronauts feel symptoms similar to hay fever the dust also gets into spacesuits ruining them but at sunset and sunrise the dust sort of dances rather beautifully electromagnetic forces make the particles float. you'll always see the same side of the moon no matter where you are on earth that's because the moon orbits around our planet at the same speed it rotates around its own axis.
8.Unknown space facts:Astronaut suit and cost.
Astronauts only wear orange spacesuits during the launch and re-entry of the spaceship the colour stands out and makes it easier to spot people and rescue on the white suits are equipped very differently and help astronauts survive in outer space speaking of which a spacesuit costs around twelve million dollars it protects astronauts from scorching heat space dust and extreme weather conditions the helmets even have bell crow patches to help astronauts out when their nose is itch.
9.Unknown space facts:NASA faults.
In 1999 NASA lost a Mars orbiter because one engineering team was using the metric system and another was doing calculations with the help of the Imperial system the decades ago astronomers thought mercury didn't rotate around its axis they also believe that the same side of the planet always faced the Sun only in 1965 scientists discovered that the planet does rotate but at a snail's pace one rotation takes 57 Earth days.
10.Unknown space facts:Water in space.
Astronomers discovered an enormous water reservoir in space it was floating around a supermassive black hole called a quasar floating water vapors aren't that common in space this particular reservoir holds around 140 trillion times the amount of water in all the Earth's oceans it's one of the oldest and largest vapor clouds.
