Stephen Michalak was searching for minerals along Falcon Lake, 80 miles east of Winnipeg, Manitoba, on May 20, 1967, when he heard the cackling of geese. Looking up into the early-afternoon sky, saw two glow oval-shaped objects on a steep, swift descent.One abruptly stop its downward flight while the other continued,landing on a flat rock outcropping 160 feet away.Michalak carefully approached the strange craft, which looked like a bowl with a dome on top.Forty feet wideee and 15 feet high,it emitted a humming sound and a sulphur stench.On the bottom half,just below the rim of the bowl,was a doorlike opening from which muffled voices emanated. "They sounded like humans,"he reported."I was able to find out two distinct voices,one with a higher pitch than the other.Thinking he was dealing with a terrestrial craft,he addressed the speakers in several languages,asking if he could help.He got no answer. He poked his head through the opening into the interior,seeing only a "maze of lights hitting Him below chest"

The distinction between dwarf planets, asteroids, meteoroids and comets: simplistically, asteroids are relatively small inactive bodies composed of rock or metals; dwarf planets are the largest asteroids; meteoroids are smaller particles of asteroids (called meteors or "shooting stars" when they burn up in the atmosphere, and meteorites if they manage to penetrate to the Earth's surface); comets are mainly composed of dirt and ices rather than solid rock or metal, and tend to have dust and gas tails when close to the Sun.

The Moon causes not only the sea to rise as the Moon passes over it, but the land rises and falls too, by as much as 30 cm each day

If you were standing on Pluto at its midday, it would look like a moonlit night here on Earth. The sunlight that reaches the demoted planet Pluto is 1,000 times weaker than on Earth

Only 5% of the universe is made up of normal matter, 25% is dark matter and 70% is dark energy.

Neptune's moon Triton is geologically active and has erupting geysers on it's surface that blast liquid nitrogen 8 kilometres high

The Sun is 330,330 times larger in mass and 109 larger in diameter than the Earth!

Unlike other planets in the solar system, Venus spins not from west to east, but from east to west.

The distance to the planets is measured by bouncing radar signals off them and timing how long the signals take to get there and back.
