Here 11 Mind Shattering Facts About Space
You’ll love #3 Soo much, you’ll want to put a ring on it
# 11
The average lifespan of a star is 10 billion years.
Depending on it’s mass, at the end of its life a star will either collapse or next toad
into a supernova.
Most of the material in the universe comes out of these explanations, including us!
That’s right honey, you’re a star!
Everything that we are and everything in the universe originated from stardust.
It continually floats through us today and some of it is as old as the universe itself.
So don’t forget, if you need something in life to go your way.
Make a wish upon yourself!
# 10
Speaking of stars, when a star tries, if it doesn’t next toad into a supernova, it implodes,
and its collapsed core forms a Neutron star.
Neutron stars are one of the densest objects in the universe.
One teaspoon of matter from a neutron star would weigh 900 times more than the mass of
the great pyramid of giza.
If the neutron star’s internal pressure is insufficient to resist it’s own gravity,
a gravitational collapse occurs which then creates a black hole.
And what happens in Black holes, stays in black holes.
# 9 Earth is located in the galaxy known as the
“Milky Way” which gets its name from the delicious chocolate-malt nougut candy bar
from the Mars Company.
A lot of people don’t know that.
So definitely tell all your friends at the next party.
The Milky Way’s closest neighbor is a galaxy known as Andromeda.
As far as galaxies go, Andromeda is pretty formidable.
It has approximately 1 trillion stars and spans 220,000 light years.
But Andromeda has one cardinal transgression.
It’s headed right for us!!
That’s right, the two galaxies are on a collision course locked into an inter-galactic
a game of chicken.
And you know the milky way doesn’t flinch.
That’s how we roll!!
We’ve got the pedal to the metal and the falls to the wall because we are speeding
towards Andromeda at a speed of 68 miles per second!
Scientists believe that the two galaxies will collide in approximately 4.5 billion years.
The Earth’s fate after the collision is unknown.
Some scientist say that it will be unaffected save for an epic half a billion year long
light show.
Others say that it will be crushed by other planets.
But don’t worry, by then, you’ll be super bed!
# 8 Space is so vast, How Vast is it?
Space is so vast that the light from some stars has been traveling for millions of years
just to reach your eyes.
Which means that you don’t need a flex capacitor traveling at 88 miles per hour in order to
go back in time.
All you need to see into the past is to look up at the night sky.
The Hubble telescope is a space telescope that was launched into Earths orbit by Nasa
in 1990.
It is one of the largest and most versatile modern telescopes ever.
The Hubble telescope can see stars that are so far away that some of their light has been
travelling as long as 13 Billion years!
Great Scott!
# 7 Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.
It is the largest planet in our solar system, it has 67 moons and every other planet in
the system could fit inside of it.
Party at Jupiter’s!!
From earth, it is the third brightest natural object in the sky, after the moon and Venus.
What really sets Jupiter apart is that it has an enormous hurricane that has been paging
across its surface for at least 300 years!
It is so large that you could fit three earths inside of it!
I’m gonna let you finish Puerto Rico, but Jupiter had the best hurricane of all time!!
# 6 Mars is our brother from another mother.
It’s our next door neighbor here in the nice part of the solar system.
Just like Earth, Mars orbits the sun and rotates on an axis.
In fact a Mars day is only 37 minutes longer than an earth day.
However Mars has a sunset that would be unrecognizable on Earth.
The sun disappears behind the horizon like an earth sunset but there is one glaring difference
on Mars.
It’s blue!!
Because of Mars’ low gravitational pull there is a bunch of debris floating around
the planet.
When the sun hits this debris as it’s going down it creates a majestic blue hue across
the red planet.
I don’t know about you but this fact really blue my mind.
Oh you don’t think it’s cool, well you can go blue yourself.
# 5 Many physicists suspect that everything that
we know.
All the worlds, galaxies and stars in our observable universe is just one tiny bubble
in an infinite ocean of other universes that together are known as the multiverse.
The multiverse comprises everything that exists!
Space, time, matter, energy, all that stuff.
What that means is thagt you’re basically a speck, riding on a speck, inside a speck
next to an infinite amount of other specks.
Sorta puts things in perspective.
But tell me more about how it is that your apartment has bad wifi
# 4 On July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz
Aldrin, two American astronauts on the NASA’s Apollo 11 space flight, became the first men
to walk on the moon.
In total they spent approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes together bouncing around on
the moon’s surface, collecting lunar material and taking epic pictures with the American
flag.
It’s too bad they didn’t have Instagram back then, the amount of likes these photos
could have gotten would truly have been…out of this world.
Turns out that because the moon has no atmosphere it also has no wind.
Which means that millions of years from now, their footprints will still be there!
These guys really know how to make an impression!
# 3 Without a doubt Neptune is the coolest planet
in our solar system.
Literally it’s like -353 degrees Fahrenheit.
But on top of that, It just hangs out all the way in the back of the pack and occasionally
makes fun of Pluto for not being a planet anymore.
According to scientists however, Neptune is going to be making big moves in the future.
Triton is Neptune’s largest moon and it is gradually orbiting closer and closer to
the planet.
It is believed that one day Triton will get so close to Neptune that it will be torn apart
by gravity.
This will proliferate debris all around the planet’s orbit that will eventually coalesce
into planetary rings!!
Watch out Saturn!
There’s going to be a new big baller blinging out hard in the system.
Scientists predict that Neptune’s new ice will easily outstrip Saturn’s.
Which will make it the chillest but also the illest planet on the block.
# 2 In 2004, astronomers discovered a planet orbiting
a nearby star 40 light years from Earth in our Milky Way galaxy.
They named it “55 Cancri e” because scientists are super lame.
Its diameter is about twice that of earth’s but its mass is about 8.6 times Earth’s
mass.
Hey 55 Cancri e!
Yo mamma has got so much mass, her bellybutton get home 15 minutes before she does.
Hey 55 Cancri e!
Yo mamma has so much mass, she doesn’t need the internet because she’s already world
wide!
Hey 55 Cancri e! your mama has so much mass it took me two buses and a train to get her
good side.
What is unique about this planet is that it is composed mainly of carbon and scientist
have estimated that over one third of 55 Canri e is Diamond!!
That’s right 55 Cancri e is officially a girls best friend, in the sky with Lucy and
is all I need to please, it can stimulate and tease me.
If the estimate is correct 55 Cancri e would be worth approximately $26.9 Nonillion dollars.
That’s a huge rock!
# 1 One Small Step
The Moon, it’s in the sky.
It’s always rotating around us, and sometimes you can see it during the day, which is weird.
But where did it come from?
Why does it rotate earth?
What kind of cheese is it really made of?
Turns out that the broad scientific consensus is that the moon came from Earth!
According to space nerds, when the solar system was created 4.6 billion years ago the earth
was ridding solo.
One day Theia, a protoplanet nearly the size of mars comes out of nowhere and crashes into
earth!
Theia hit our blue rock in such a way that a massive amount of debris was ejected out
of our atmosphere.
The debris field consolidated in the vacuum of space into what we now call the moon and
has been hanging around us ever since.
In the end, turns out Theia is a real bed beat planet.
She hit it and she quit it.
She knocked us up and look off forever leaving us with all the responsibility of baby moon.
She didn’t even leave a note!
