Satellites are programmed to avoid meteorites so that they don’t get destroyed. Of over 8,000 satellites orbiting the Earth, only one has ever been hit and destroyed by a meteorite.

NASA has discovered a “water world” planet about 40 light-years away from earth that might contain exotic materials such as “hot ice” and “superfluid water.”

When you’re looking at the Sagittarius constellation you’re actually looking into the center of our galaxy. 

Oxygen is made in stars which have a mass of five or more Earth suns when they burn helium and carbon or just carbon in nuclear fusion reactions. Oxygen is part of the ‘ash’ formed by these nuclear fires.🗯

You are the same age as the universe because matter can't be created or destroyed.

The galaxy M100 is so far away that if beings from there were to look at Earth right now, they would be watching the real-time extinction of the dinosaurs. 🗯

NASA plans to probe deeper into Uranus in the 2030s.🗯

IC 1101 is the largest galaxy that has ever been found in the observable universe, located almost a billion light-years away, at its largest point, this galaxy extends about 2 million light-years from its core, and it has a mass of about 100 trillion stars.

A teaspoonful of neutron star would weigh 6 billion tons.

Charon is the largest moon of Pluto, and it’s actually very large compared to the dwarf planet — it’s about one eighth the mass of Pluto. That’s big enough that the center of mass between the two bodies (the barycenter) is outside of Pluto. Thus, Pluto and Charon are both orbiting around that center, making it the only binary system we’ve directly observed.🗯

Some scientists say that if the universe is truly infinite, then there is an exact copy of you somewhere in the universe.

Cheomseongdae Observatory, the world’s first astronomical lab, is located in South Korea. It was constructed in the mid-600s.

No one knows who named Earth.

The solar system is around 4,500 million years old. Scientist estimate that it will probably last another 5000 million years.

The hottest planet in our solar system is Venus having temperature 864°F/ 462°C.🗯

The volume of the earth's moon is the same as the volume of the Pacific Ocean.🗯

The red giant Betelgeuse has a diameter larger than that of the Earth's orbit around the sun. In fact, if it were in place of our sun it would absorb all but the outermost portions of the asteroid belt.

The Andromeda Galaxy is approaching the Milky Way at approximately 100 to 140 kilometres per second, but the distance so huge that it will take approximately 4.5 billion years for the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way to collide and the result will be a giant elliptical galaxy.

When all the Hydrogen has been burned, the Sun will continue for about 130 million more years, burning Helium, during which time it will expand to the point that it will engulf Mercury and Venus and the Earth. At this stage it will have become a red giant.

The Moon is moving approximately 3.8 cm away from our planet every year. It is estimated that it will continue to do so for around 50 billion years. By the time that happens, the Moon will be taking around 47 days to orbit the Earth instead of the current 27.3 days.
