Strangest fact about universe

When you look into the night sky, you are looking back in time

Galactic year

It takes 24 hours for Earth to rotate on its axis to make a day, and 365 days to orbit around the sun for a year. It takes around230 million years for our solar system to complete a single orbit around the Milky Way. The last time it was in its current position, the earliest dinosaurshad just appeared, and flowering plants wouldn’t evolve for another 100 million years







Earth, our home planet, is the fifth largest planet in our solar system and the only planet we know of where life exists. Even though Earth seems extremely large to us, it is actually a tiny spec in the vast expanse of the universe. Here are 7 space facts that will make you feel very small.



1. Our sun is one of at least 100 BILLION stars, just in the Milky Way. Scientists calculate that there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe, each one brimming with stars. There are more stars than grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches combined. 

In 1995, the first planet beyond our solar system was discovered. Now, thousands of planets orbiting sun-like stars have been discovered, also known as exoplanets.



2. The Milky Way is a huge city of stars, so big that even at the speed of light (which is fast!), it would take 100,000 years to travel across it.



3. Roughly 70% of the universe is made of dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 25%. The rest — everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter adds up to less than 5% of the universe.



4. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth would be the size of a nickel.

5. The sun accounts for almost all of the mass in our solar system. Leaving .2% for all the planets and everything else.

6. Edwin Hubble discovered that the Universe is expanding and that at one point in time (14 billion years ago) the universe was all collected in just one point of space.

7. Four American spacecraft are headed out of our solar system to what scientists call interstellar space. Voyager 1 is the farthest out — more than 11 billion milesfrom our sun. It was the first manmade object to leave our solar system. Voyager 2, is speeding along at more than 39,000 mph, but will still take more than 296,000 years to pass Sirius, the brightest star

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains up to 400 billion stars. In the observable universe, there are more than 200 billion galaxies (some estimates put this figure at up to 500 billion) – each with billions or even trillions of stars within it.


This equates to roughly 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars in the observable universe.



Of the planets orbiting these stars, astronomers estimate that there are 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (50 sextillion) habitable planets.


And remember – this is in the observable universe, so the real figures may be infinite… Still wondering whether extraterrestrial life is likely to exist?!



2. Many scientists believe in the multiverse – that there are an infinite number of parallel universes that exist alongside our own in other dimensions. This theory would explain some of the peculiarities of quantum mechanics. Detecting a parallel universe is one of the aspirations of the team of scientists working on the CERN Hadron Collider…


3. Planning a trip to outer space? Pack your bikini and your winter coat – solar winds and interstellar gas clouds can reach millions of degrees in temperature (ouch!) but the general background temperature of outer space is around -260C. Brrr!


4. The closest galaxy to our own is Andromeda. Measuring 140,000 light years across and 2.5 million light years away from Earth, if it were bright enough to be seen in the night sky, it would appear six times as large as the Moon.


5. Black holes form when massive stars collapse into themselves and condense their mass into an unbelievably small area. The tiniest are called primordial black holes – these are thought to be the size of an atom, but with the mass of a mountain! The biggest are supermassive black holes – they have masses greater than 1 million suns.


It’s thought that every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its centre – the Milky Way’s is called Sagittarius A. It has a mass equal to 4 million suns – yet it would fit inside our own sun.


If a human were to become a black hole, that person would have to be compressed to the size of a proton.


6. It’s thought that, over the course of a year, 100 billion stars are born and die throughout the universe.


7. Astronauts returning from space have said that their spacesuits and gear smell like seared steak and hot metal – an odour that’s probably caused by the remnants of dying stars.


8. Back in the days when you’d turn your telly over to a badly tuned channel, the static, or ‘white noise’ you heard was made up of about one per cent radiation left over from the Big Bang. The proper name for this is Cosmic Microwave Background


9. Space officially begins 62 miles above the earth, at the Karman line.


10. Cast into space on 5 September 1977, space probe Voyager 1 is the furthest man-made object from earth, at 11,136,538,637 miles away. In 1990, it took the first ever image of our solar system from the ‘outside’ – showing the Earth as a teeny-tiny blue pinprick.


The probe carries a gold-plated audio-visual disk that carries scientific information, greetings, photos, sounds, and music from Earth, should the probe ever be discovered by extraterrestrial life.


11. Neutron stars – a crushed core of a massive star with a small radius and extremely high density – can spin at up to 43,000 times a minute, and have a magnetic field one trillion times stronger than Earth.


They are one of the densest objects known – one teaspoon of matter from a neutron star would weigh as much as one billion tons.


12. Space is completely silent. Sound needs an atmosphere to travel through, and since space has no atmosphere, it has no sound. The biggest, most awe-inspiring exploding star wouldn’t even make a peep. Astronauts are able to communicate up there thanks to radio waves, which can travel through space.


13. Talking of atmospheres, the Moon doesn’t have one, either. So, the footprints made by the Apollo astronauts are likely to remain printed on the lunar surface for billions of years.



☺️Hope you don't know that☺️
