Universe is full of mystery. We only know about the 2 % of the entire observable universe.Although we have come a long way in our understanding, with every passing day new discoveries are made. So, Here are some fun facts about universe you mat never heard about.
10. SATURN CAN FLOAT ON WATER
The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float. The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm3 while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm3.
9. The moon is drifting away from Earth
Every year the moon moves about 3.8cm further away from the Earth.
8. If two pieces of metal touch in space, they become permanently stuck together
Two pieces of metal without any coating on them will form in to one piece in the vacuum of space.
7. There Is A Giant Booze Cloud In Space
In 2006, the MERLIN radio telescope detected a huge cloud in space consisting of gaseous methyl alcohol.
6. There’s A Very, Very Big Diamond Out There
Discovered in 2004, a collapsed star just 50 light years away from Earth was discovered, measuring 4000 km across and with a pure diamond core
5. Neutron Stars Are Very, Very Heavy
neutron star with a size of a sugar cube can weighs around 100 million tons.
4. Nuking the Moon
In the late 1950s, by way of something labeled Project A119 the United States decided it would be a good idea to launch a nuclear missile at the moon.
however, the plan was never executed.
3. The Moon smells like gunpowder
Upon leaving the moon astronauts on the Apollo missions described moon dust as smelling like gunpowder and feeling extremely soft.
2. The Universal Speed Limit
Nothing in the universe can exceed the speed of light.
( 186,000 miles per second )
1. The human brain is the most complex object in the known universe.
Our brains are remarkably complex objects with a hundred billion neurons, a quadrillion connections, and we still know very little about how this organic super computer operates. But we do know the human brain is the most complicated thing we have yet discovered.
