32. There may be 20 trillion galaxies in the universe.



33. Jupiter’s moon Europa may have oceans of water beneath its dry surface and it is a major target in the search for life in the Solar System.

34. It is estimated that there are as many as 370,000 pieces of space junk floating in Earth's orbit, travelling at speeds of up to 22,000 mph. They're abandoned satellites, rockets/old rockets.

35. There is a diamond floating in our galaxy that is bigger than Earth.

36. There is a planet called HD189733b where it rains glass sideways.

35. 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.

Kip it coming, am all eyes..

Learning mode activated. This thread and the one about Aliens reminds me of The AGENTS OF SHIELD tv series (that scene when Hive was hanging on space with Agent Lincoln (Linkin)

36.An asteroid impact some 65 million years ago contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. (It was one of several factors that affected all life on Earth at that time.)

7. Our solar system’s biggest mountain is on Mars.


Olympus Mons on Mars is the tallest mountain on any of the planets of the Solar System. The mountain is a gigantic shield volcano (similar to volcanoes found in the Haiiwain Islands) standing at
26 kilometres
tall and sprawling 600 kilometres across. To put this into scale, this makes the mountain almost three times the height of Mount Everest.

How I Thought Everest Is 29,000km Tall??

So How Is Bigger??

Explorers:
29. Solar flares reach temperatures of 10 million °C and have the energy of a million atom bombs.


30. The moon is the only other world that humans have set foot on. Because the moon has no atmosphere or wind, the footprints planted in its dusty surface in 1969 by the Apollo astronauts are still there today, perfectly preserved.

why have man not be able to go the moon recently?

37. 225 million years is the time taken by our solar system to rotatearound the Milky way. Dinosaurs just began to roam on the Earth, the last time Earth was in its current position.

I cant even see anything d pointer is showing as where the milkyway is. U mean we r dat small tiny?

In that case, we need stronger telescopes that can conviniently go up to 50billion years back into space, so that we can see what happened before THE BIG BANG.

4. The Hubble telescope allows us to look back billions of years into the past.



The Hubble Telescope enables us to look towards very distant objects in the universe. Thanks to this remarkable piece of engineering NASA has been able to create some incredible images, one of which is the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Created using images from the telescope from 2003 and 2004, the incredible picture displays a tiny patch of the sky in immense detail; it contains 10,000 objects, most of them younggalaxies, and acts as a portal back in time. Inone picture we are transported 13 billion years into the past, just 400 to 800 million years after the Big Bang, which is early in terms of the universe’s history.

I read that NASA's focus was redirected towards building of space shuttle, due to the public losing interest in moon landing.

The project requires lots of money. As at 1966, the budget was $5.933 billion dollars (around $43 billion today.)
May be there will be other covered reasons.

It shows how vast the universe is bro. Its just like someone in space, looking towards Asia and trying to see the world's tallest building in Dubai or world's largest ship on the ocean. You wont see a shït.

heard Buzz Aldrin say that they were warned off the moon by aliens, never to return, also heard him say they were huge space ships parked on the far side of the moon, got the clips, what do u think, conspiracy?

Try doing a research into it, I think a lot of truth has bin suppressed mostly by the big heads, alien sightings, truth abt the marshian moon and the threat that lies out there that we don't know abt, when the sanction was placed on Russia then, putin threatened the world economy especially united state that it Wud reveal the truth abt the alien coverup, so many things bro, just do ur research on them, interesting dey r, goes deeper to the reason why the mainstream media Wud never report anything abt UFO sightings and all, wish I cud share my clips with u, I love ur sense of explore

Could it be possible to look forward into the future like if the telescope was turned the other way round?

I get you, but of what use would it be to look at future stars? Even looking at the past start sef is boring enough...lol

5. There’s a giant cloud of alcohol in Sagittarius B.


Sagittarius B is a vast molecular cloud of gas and dust floating near the centre of the Milky Way, 26,000 light-years from Earth, 463,000,000,000 kilometres in diameter and, amazingly, it contains 10-billion-billion-billion litres of alcohol. The vinyl alcoholin the cloud is far from the most flavour some tipple in the universe, but it is an important organic molecule which offers some clues how the first building blocks of life-forming substances are produced.
