12 Amazing Space Facts Proving Life on Earth is Boring

Do you know that on Mars the normally pinkish-red sky turns blue as the sun goes down under the horizon? It’s because Mars is much farther away from the sun than Earth, making the sunlight less intense. The fine dust in the Martian atmosphere absorbs the blue light and gets rid of the warmer colors that you typically see on Earth.
Outer space is amazing by its sheer size, the trillions of massive objects it accommodates, and the many secrets it holds, some of which you’re about to find out. Watch our video to discover the story behind Earth’s moon, how a single teaspoon can weigh a billion tons, and how our galaxy is heading on a deadly collision, along with other incredible facts!

SUMMARY:
- All the planets in our solar system have now been explored, even the dwarf planets of Pluto and Ceres. Most of the exploration was done by NASA’s Voyager program, which began in 1977.
- In 2011, astronomers discovered an enormous water reservoir simply floating in space around a supermassive black hole called a quasar.
- In between the emptiness, there are clouds of gas and other stray particles. So depending on where you are, soundwaves can be possible.
- Discovered in 2017, KELT-9b is the hottest planet we know of. Next time you’re complaining about the heat on a scorching summer day, just remember that temperatures on this planet can reach 7,800 ºF!
- There is a thing called space junk, which is any human-made object that’s been left in space and now serves no purpose.
- Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has about 100 billion stars. But other estimates put it at over 200 billion, since calculating the exact amount is an almost impossible task even for astronomers.
- There are several theories as to how the moon came into existence, but the prevailing one is the Fission theory. It proposes that the moon was formed when an object collided with Earth, sending particles flying about.
- Among the most spectacular-looking space objects are pulsars. Pulsars are a type of neutron star. They shoot out some of their material almost at the speed of light.
- Mars houses the biggest volcano in the solar system. One of these volcanoes is Olympus Mons.
- The Milky Way is headed for a massive collision with the Andromeda galaxy. Four billion years from now, these galaxies will meet and neither will survive.
- Neutron stars are the size of a small city, yet their mass is about 1.4 times that of the sun. They’re formed when massive stars die, and their cores collapse in on themselves.
