  7. Are We Living On The Edge Of The Universe?
    New cosmological theories suggest that the "edge" isn't a physical wall in space, but the present moment itself. As nature repeats patterns from neurons to galactic filaments, scientists are investigating if our 3D reality is simply the leading edge of a 4D manifold expanding into the unknown.

  25. Think How Tiny We are 🌎

    The solar system🌌 is immense, with the outer boundary, the Oort Cloud, reaching up to 15 trillion kilometers (9.3 trillion miles) from the Sun, giving it a diameter of roughly 30 trillion kilometers (18.6 trillion miles). This vast size encompasses the Sun, its eight planets, dwarf planets, and a vast region of icy objects in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud.

  27. The first recorded observation of another galaxy was in the year 964, when Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi described the Andromeda Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud in his “Book of Fixed Stars.” Since then, astronomers have observed and cataloged millions of other galaxies. -The Planetary Society

  28. @sanity
    Cool space facts:
    - Saturn has 124 moons. The most massive (Titan) is larger than the planet Mercury.
    - Black holes might have hair. Or they might be bald. Hawking radiation is likely emitted from black holes because as far as its known, information cannot be completely destroyed, so what goes into a black hole essentially comes out as very tiny strands of information (theoretically).
    - A NASA spacesuit costs about $12 million to create.
    - Space is not always cold. It can be hundreds of degrees either positive and negative Celsius.
