INTRESTING FACTS ABOUT SPACE!!

-
 Hey everyone..!!😀

let's get started with some intresting facts about universe...!!🎇

SO,DO YOU KNOW???

👉When you look into the night sky, you are actually looking in the past.

The stars we see in the night sky are very far away from us, so far the star light we see has taken a long time to travel across space to reach our eyes. This means whenever we look out into the night and gaze at stars we are actually experiencing how they looked in the past. Isn't it amazing?

👉 It takes 225 million years for our Sun to travel round the galaxy.

Whilst the Earth and the other planets within our solar system orbit around the Sun, the Sun itself is orbiting around the centre of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It takes the Sun 225 million years to perform a complete circuit of the galaxy.Do you know this before?

👉 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.Isn't it a great discovery?

 👉We are all made of stardust.

Every element found on Earth was created in the burning core of a star, all the stuff that makes up life on Earth, therefore our bodies are made from stardust. NASA have studied stardust extensively, and you can read more about their research on their official website.In the words of Carl Sagan, “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. "We are made of starstuff.” It sounds creepy,right?

👉 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, it contains 10-billion-billion-billion litres of alcohol.The vinyl alcohol in the cloud is far from the most flavoursome 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.It sounds so great,right?


So these are some intresting facts about our universe!!
i hope u all had enjoyed reading this...!

COMETS:THE COSMIC SNOWBALLS

HEY EVERYONE..! YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE WORD COMETS.. BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY ARE? TODAY I M GOING TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMETS..!! COMETS are the cosmic snowballs of frozen gases mix with dust,which orbit the sun.They have been referred to as "DUSTY SNOW BALLS". They may yield important clues about the formation of our solar system. Comets may have brought water and organic compounds, the building blocks of life, to the early Earth and other parts of the solar system.  W hen passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases.This produces a visible atmosphere, and sometimes also a tail. Unlike the other small bodies in the solar system,comets have been known since antiquity. NOW LET ME TAKE YOU TO THE HISTORY OF THE COMETS.... In 1995,878 comets have been cataloged.Of these 184 are periodic comets whose orbital periods less than 200 years.These are the mixture of ices(both water and frozen gases). Comets are invisible except when they are near th

MOON:EARTH'S CLOSEST FRIEND

  HEY EVERYONE!! I'm welcoming you all after a very long time A friend is a very important part of everyone's life...right? So today let's talk about our planet's friend. Let's explore and see that whether our planet's choice is good or not?😂 As we all know the moon is Earth's only satellite. Since prehistoric times, it is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun. Poets and composers were invoking the moon's romantic charms and its darker side, and writers of fiction were conducting their readers on speculative lunar journeys long before Apollo astronauts. Here, the word darker side reminds me of a movie or cartoon scene where a wolf changes into a monster by looking at the moon.😂😂 The moon is a spherical rocky body, probably with a small metallic core, revolving around the Earth in a slightly eccentric orbit at a mean distance of about 384,000 km Now some of you might don't know about the eccentric orbit, so let me tell you, Eccentric Orbit

WHY IS PLUTO NO LONGER A PLANET?

 HEY EVERYONE!! I WELCOME YOU ALL AFTER A LONG TIME...WITH ANOTHER INTERESTING TOPIC! PLUTO WILL ALWAYS BE THE NINTH PLANET TO US...RIGHT? SO LET'S TALK ABOUT PLUTO'S JOURNEY...FROM THE NINTH PLANET TO A DWARF PLANET. P LUTO ... why its no longer a planet? The INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN UNION (IAU) declared that it is a dwarf planet becoz it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Unfortunately, pluto meets all the criteria except one... it has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects. Pluto is the largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and was discovered in the 1930s. It was the 9th planet of our solar system for 75years until the discovery of Eris and other similar objects that follows the journey from being a planet to a dwarf planet. Before moving on further I would like to tell you the three criteria of IAU for a full-sized planet: 👉THE OBJECT MUST BE IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN. 👉THE OBJECT MUST BE MASSIVE ENOUGH TO BE ROUN
