11 Interesting Space facts that will Blow Your Mind


By- Onkar Dureja


There's a lot to wonder about space. The very fact is we do not know all the answers about it. We all know it's vast and delightful, but we're not really sure how vast (or how beautiful, for that matter).

Some of the items we do know, however, are downright mind-boggling. Below, we've collected a number of the foremost amazing facts about space, so once you search at the celebs you'll be ever more wowed by what you are looking at.




1. Spinning rate of Neutron stars is 600 rotations per second

Neutron stars are one among the possible evolutionary end-points of High Mass stars. They're born during a core-collapse supernova star explosion and subsequently rotate extremely rapidly as a consequence of their physics. They rotate up to 60 times per second after born. Under special circumstances, this rate can increase to quite 600 times per second.

2. Space is totally silent

Sound waves need a medium to travel through. Since there's no atmosphere within the vacuum of space, the realm between stars will always be eerily silent.

That said, worlds with atmospheres and atmospheric pressure do allow sound to travel, hence why there's many noise on Earth and certain other planets also.



3. There are an uncountable number of stars within the known universe

We basically haven't any idea what percentage stars there are within the universe. Immediately we use our estimate of what percentage stars there are in our own galaxy, the Milky Way. We then multiply that number by the simplest guesstimate of the amount of galaxies within the universe. In any case that math, NASA can only confidently say that say there all zillions of uncountable stars. Zillion is any uncountable amount. The estimate of an Australian National University study put that 70sextillion. Put differently, that's 70,000 million million million.

4. 99 percent of our solar system's mass is that the sun

Our star, the sun, is so dense that it accounts for a whopping 99 percent of the mass of our entire system. That is what allows it to dominate all of the planets gravitationally.
Technically, our sun may be a "G-type main-sequence star" which suggests that each second, it fuses approximately 600 million plenty of hydrogen to helium. It also converts about 4 million plenty of interest energy as a by product.
When the sun dies, it'll become a red giant star and envelop the world and everything thereon. But don't worry: that will not happen for an additional 5 billion years.



5. More energy from the sun hits Earth every hour than the earth uses during a year


The use of solar power has increased at a rate of 20 percent annually for the past 15 years. Consistent with Yale Environment 360, the planet added 30 percent more solar power capacity in 2017, meaning that 98.9 gig watts of solar power was produced that year.
Despite seemingly sizable amount, this amount of energy only accounts for 0.7 percent of the world's annual electricity usage.

6. If two pieces of an equivalent sort of metal touch in space, they're going to bond and be permanently stuck together

This amazing effect is named cold welding. It happens because the atoms of the individual pieces of metal haven't any way of knowing that they're different pieces of metal, therefore the lumps join together.
This wouldn't happen on Earth because there's air and water separating the pieces. The effect features a lot of implication for spacecraft construction and therefore the way forward for metal-based construction in vacuums.

7. Ceres-the most important asteroid 



The asteroid — which is usually referred to as a dwarf planet — is nearly 600 miles in diameter. It's far and away the most important within the belt between Mars and Jupiter and accounts for an entire third of the belts mass. Ceres' area is approximately adequate to the acreage of India or Argentina.

The unscrewed spacecraft Dawn just finished up its mission orbiting Ceres and helping us totally transform our understanding of the planet.

8. At some point on Venus is longer than one year on Earth

Venus has a particularly slow axis rotation that takes about 243 Earth days to finish one full cycle. Funny enough, it takes Venus even less time in Earth days so as to finish one revolution round the sun — 226 to be exact.
Furthermore, the sun rises every 117 Earth days, which suggests that the sun will rise only twice during annually, which is additionally all technically within the same day. Since Venus also rotates clockwise, the sun will rise within the west and set within the east.

9. Jupiter's Red Spot is shrinking

Jupiter's well-known Red Spot has been shrinking over the past few decades. This spot on the earth is an enormous spinning storm that won’t to be ready to fit about three Earths. Now, consistent with just one Earth can fit inside the spot.

Interestingly enough, because the storm is shrinking in breadth, it's actually growing taller long. As of 2018, scientists are still stumped on why this phenomenon is happening within the first place, but some theorize that it's going to need to do with jet stream on Jupiter that has either changed path or position.





10. One among Saturn's moons features a distinct two-tone coloration

Iapetus, one among Saturn's 62 moons, is really a reasonably unique celestial object. This moon features a very distinct two-tone coloration, with one side be much darker than the opposite.
As of 2018, this strange occurrence isn't present on the other moons within the system. Iapetus' colour has got to do with its position in reference to the remainder of Saturn's moons. It seems that Iapetus is much outside of Saturn's rings, and since of this, it gets hit with tons of space debris from objects which may be passing through its orbit, explaining the dark areas, consistent with Forbes.
Another moon Phoebe, revolves clockwise around Saturn and "emits a gentle stream of particles." Iapetus revolves counter clockwise, meaning that just one side of Iapetus gets hit with the particles coming off of Phoebe once they revolve past one another. Why Iapetus is not fully dark, but only partially is explained 

11. The position of the Polaris will change over time 

Navigation is going to be weird when Polaris stops being the Polaris in about 13,000 years. just in case you didn't know, Earth's axis goes through a motion called "recession" which suggests that the planet's axis will change, and trace out the form of a cone—even if it's slightly. When this happens, it takes around 26,000 years for the axis to trace out an entire cone. To feature to the present, Polaris, the Earth's current "North Star" will eventually begin to shift positions because the Earth undergoes procession.

In 3,000 B.C., it's believed that the Polaris was the star Theban, otherwise referred to as Alpha Draconian. In about 13,000 years, the star Vega is getting to be the new Polaris — but in 26,000 years, Polaris will return in its original position because the world continues to travel through precession.
