   Facts About Our Space

1. Galaxy Merging

Our galactic home, the Milky Way Galaxy, is on an inevitable collision course with

nearest neighbor, the spiral galaxy.Stars , as well as our Sun, can smash into each other and orbits can fly out of whack.

The chaos can maintain for a few times, however eventually,

everything can relax, and also the 2 galaxies can merge into one vast elliptical galaxy.

Don't lose any lodge this happening, though—it will not happen for one more 3.75 billion years.

2. Second Largest Planet can Float on Water

Size has nothing to try and do with buoyancy. Take an enormous iceberg,

for instance. It's less dense than what is beneath it, thus it's able to sit on high of the waterGas , too, includes a well lower density than liquid, as well as water. 

So, even if Saturn is that the second biggest planet in our system,

as a result of its creation up virtually entirely of gas and ice.

The earth might truly float in water. sensible luck finding a tub sufficiently big to check this out although.

3. Largest Volcano in Solar System

At 13.6 miles high and 370 miles wide, Mt. Olympus Mons on Mars' western hemisphere is that the

largest volcano in our solar system. It's unknown whether or not this volcano continues to be active.

however what we have a tendency to do apprehend is that Olympus Mons

was able to grow thus huge as a result of Mars, not like Earth, has no shifting tectonic plates,

That the mountain merely sits over a hot spot that provides it a continuing provide of volcanic rock.

4. Called Black But Not Black

At the heart of a black hole is something called a gravitational singularity, which is a mass so dense that it creates gravity too strong for even light to escape, i.e. the "black" part of the black hole.

However, quantum physics actually predicts that black holes, particularly small ones, do emit some observable radiation, including visible light.

This is called Hawking Radiation, after astrophysicist Dr. Stephen Hawking, and it slowly drains the black holes of their mass and energy.
