Interesting facts that will blow up your mind about our universe.

Fact #1:

         The planet Uranus was discovered in 1971 ,but the Antartic was not discovered until 1820.

Fact #2:

         Uranus is the smelliest planet in our solar system. Uranus clouds contain hydrogen sulphide
- the same gas that is released with flatulence(fart)  and when eggs rotten.

Fact #3:

         You could fit all the planets between the earth and the moon. there would even be room to spare to fit a dwarf planet like Pluto. This shows how far the moon is from the earth.

Fact #4:

         If we had the technology to create a Dyson Sphere around sun, we would generate 384 yottawatts of energy ,aka total power output of the sun.
 
                                              1 yottawatt = 10^24 watts.

Fact #5:

         SCIENTISTS HAVE FOUND A HELL PLANET! . Officially names K2-141b ,the planet is located around 200 light years from us, and slightly larger than earth. It rains rocks and fire, and the oceans are made of lava. More data on its atmosphere was gathered  recently after its discovery in 2018.

Fact #6:

         If space wasn't sound proof , we would hear the sun burning at over 100 decibels, or as loud as a chainsaw from 5 meters away.

Fact #7:
         Four ways to detect a black hole:
      
         1.Accretion Disk:

         2.Gravitational waves from black hole merger:

         3.Stars orbiting the black hole:

         4.Gravitational lensing:

Fact #8:

         Without light pollution, you'd see the Milky Way Galaxy stretching from horizon, the Andromeda galaxy, few nebulae like the Orion nebula , a lot of globular clusters & 2 to 16 meteors per hour every night all with the naked eye!

Fact #9:

         If an alien, 65 million light years away is looking at us through a telescope right now ,he'll be looking at DINOSAURS!. This is how the space time works . For example if you look at the sun, you are looking at the sun eight minutes ago, coz it takes 8 minutes for light to travel from sun to earth. All about LIGHT SPEED!.

Fact #10:

         A teaspoon of water (about 5 mL) contains 2x10^23 water molecules, but each water molecule is comprised of 3 atoms: two hydrogen and one oxygen.

                                                       Moreover, if you'd laid down end to end each water molecule from a teaspoon full you'd end up with a length of 50 billion km or 10 times the width of our solar system.

Interesting Facts About Time, The Fourth Dimension, And Time Travel

Interesting Facts About Time, The Fourth Dimension, And Time Travel Time is perhaps the greatest mystery of all and is deeply wrapped up in our conscious experience of things. Since antiquity, time has naturally attracted the interest of philosophers and scientists determined to understand and explain its true nature. At the heart of the question is whether time is an actual reality of the physical world or simply an artificial construct of the human mind. The pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Parmenides, for example, saw time as merely an illusion, while his contemporary Heraclitus believed the flow of time to be real and the very essence of reality itself. For Newton time was absolute and moved at a consistent pace everywhere throughout the universe, while with Einstein time became more flexible and relative in scope. Nevertheless, the concept of time continues to be one of nature’s greatest mysteries and no one has been able to fully explain exactly what it is really. Four-Dimensional

Everything We Should Know About VENUS, OUR PLANETARY NEIGHBOR....

Image
VENUS (The Evening Star) Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is the brightest planet in the solar system. It is sometimes referred to as the sister planet to Earth, because of the similar mass and size. The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. In this article, we will be discussing the characteristics and a few astonishing facts of Venus. Discovery of Venus Venus is the brightest planet and is easily noticeable with unaided eyes. Ancient people likely knew about it. One of the earliest Babylonian astronomical documents speaks about Venus. Galileo Galilei was the first person to aim a telescope at Venus in 1600. The first aircraft to visit Venus was NASA’s Mariner 2 in 1962. Most recently, NASA’s Magellan visited Venus and mapped out the surface with the help of radar. Although Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun, it is still the hottest. It consists of an atmosphere full of carbon dioxide and clouds made of sulfuric acid. The atmosphere traps he

ALL About The Smallest Planet Of Our Solar System - MERCURY...

Image
MERCURY (Swift Planet) Mercury   is the smallest   planet   in the   Solar System   and the closest to the   Sun . Its orbit around the Sun takes 87.97 Earth days, the shortest of all the Sun's planets. It is named after the Roman god   Mercurius   ( Mercury ), god of commerce, messenger of the gods, and mediator between gods and mortals, corresponding to the Greek god   Hermes   (Ἑρμῆς). Like   Venus , Mercury orbits the Sun within   Earth's orbit   as an   inferior planet , and its   apparent distance   from the Sun as viewed from Earth never exceeds 28°. This proximity to the Sun means the planet can only be seen near the western horizon   after sunset   or the eastern horizon   before sunrise , usually in   twilight . At this time, it may appear as a bright star-like object but is often far more difficult to observe than Venus. From Earth, the planet telescopically displays the complete range of   phases , similar to Venus and the   Moon , which recurs over its   synodic pe
