Venus is the hottest planet 450c (surface temperature) degrees,in our solar system even though it's not the closest planet to the sun..
Footprints on the moon will probably still be there for at least 100 million years.
99% of our solar systems mass is the sun |

Did you know that a prolonged duration in space can actually alter human DNA?
Astronaut Scott Kelly’s DNA actually mutated an estimated 7 percent(!!!) after spending a year in space.
However, once back on earth the effects gradually resided and reversed.
Shades of Marvel’s, Fantastic Four?
Certainly, perhaps the cosmic rays that so drastically affected the fictional Reed Richards and his crew might not be so far fetched after all...... |

Coming in from left field:
The so called 'tenth planet' (as of 20yrs ago) of the Solar system Planet X has a weird orbit and is supposedly due to pass close to the Earth (within 1 million miles) around 2022.
But I don't know if there's anything true to this or not, just sounds interesting and worth a mention. I guess we'll see?
I'm also quite taken aback at just how much of an effect gravity has. Planets millions of miles away sucked into orbit around the sun, and I didn't grasp just how far our moon was from the Earth. If the Earth is scaled down to a tennis ball, the moon is the distance from a floor to a ceiling (of a normal height room) away. And gravity has that much effect.
To put it into perspective further, the space station and most stuff in orbit would mostly be within just 2mm from the surface.
Space is bonkers. |

"It is theorized that multiple big bangs have and will occur."
An addition to that is that theory is based upon the Einstein field equation, if the cosmological constant is too small there will be a series of big bangs expansion then reduction to a Big Crunch, if it is too big the universe will continue expanding and if it is exactly right the universe will reach a finite size and just stop |

There's now a large and growing body of evidence that shows the Sun has a micro nova cycle of approx 12,500 years. It may shed it's outer shell - causing untold extinction level events on the Earth - as shown in many layers of sediment found across the planet as well as impact craters and the mass extinction events that happen.
The last one seems to have been 12,500 years ago.

The earth is currently going through a massive decline in its magnetic shielding that is allowing record numbers of high energy cosmic rays to hit our atmosphere, creating clouds and a cooling effect across the planet that hides some of the heating caused by humans putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. |

In our model of how stars work, the centre is the hottest due to large amounts of gravity creating nuclear fusion at its core that travels through the star before leaving as energy.
However when the newest satellite launched looked at the inside layer of the sun we can see in a sun spot, it shows the inside to be cooler.
Meaning the gravitation model of the universe we currently used is flawed and only the plasma universe model matches observation.
Mainstream cosmology and astrophysics are very starting the process of radical change as most of what we thought we knew turns out to be very wrong. |

The north and south poles have started to accelerate massively and are currently in the beginnings of a magnetic reversal.
The north pole is travelling the fastest and the magnetic south pole has now left Antarctica.
Both seem to be headed for equatorial latitudes. One near Java and the other towards the gulf of Mexico |

. There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. |

When we look outer space we are looking back through time. The sun we see is light that left it 8 minutes ago. Some of the stars we see have been dead for millennia. The star that guided the wise men to Bethlehem was one of these star deaths. |

Bill Bryson quote that has always stuck with me about just how vast our solar system is... Not just space.
"We all remember the diagram of our solar system from the classroom, but on a true scale diagram, if the earth were the size of a pea, Pluto would be a mile and a half away."
And...
"The distance to the edge of our solar system is 50,000 times the distance to Pluto." |

Iron only forms at the centre of a dying star. Indeed it is iron that sounds the death Nell for one.
Iron prevents nuclear fusion and as a result the sun cannot stop itself collapsing under its own gravity.
This ends up in the star collapsing in on itself and the resultant supernova throws iron, hydrogen, carbon and all kinds of othre amazing stuff, into space.
All the things that create life.
We are all made of star stuff |

Not space, exactly - but worth considering:
In this galaxy, there's a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that... and perhaps more, only one of each of us.
'Bones' McCoy (1966)
As a fraction of the lifespan of the universe as measured from the beginning to the evaporation of the last black hole, life as we know it is only possible for one-thousandth of a billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth, billion billion billionth, of a percent.

That’s partly wrong, in stars that go supernova you will get further nuclear fusion forming the elements bigger than iron like gold, uranium, etc. But it has to be at extremely high temperature and pressure to force it together |

This one is space:
The LIGO instrument that detected gravitational waves in September 2015, had only just been upgraded when it detected them.
They were the result of a collision between two black holes with masses of 29 and 36 solar masses merging. During the final fraction of a second of the merger, it released more than 50 times the power of all the stars in the observable universe combined.
The black holes were 1.3 billion light years away; meaning this collision happened 570 million years before multicellular life arose on the Earth.
And yet, we detected it. |

Ermmmm.... I think that's wrong.... spacetime came into being in the first moment of the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. It will cease when the Big Crunch occurs, if it occurs, which depends on which cosmological theory is correct."
I don't believe the big bang ever happened.
So what was there before the big bang? What did the big bang explode into?.......space! |

People tend associate aether with dark matter. Which is wrong there is similarities as they both are a permeating mass rather than particles. Both have been created from observational interactions. Dark matter fits current gravity models and aether was created to fit the properties of light to explain how it was a wave and a particle. Maxwell kind of disproved it as elect_omagnetism required light to be in a constant state throughout the universe. Unlike any fluid. Einstein’s special relativity disregarded aether and treated light as an independent constant, which was experimentally proven. Leaving aether pretty much deprecated now. |

There's a rogue black hole B31715+125 that's unlike any other black hole while other galaxies have a black hole stuck in place B31715+125 collided with another galaxy which ripped it to shreds and sent it hurtling through space at 3 million light years ... Although though it's a 2 billion light years away it can travel it quite quickly and it's heading towards our galaxy and we wouldn't even know about it because it will be travelling that quickly it would rip our galaxy apart in a ten thousandth of a second. |

Footprints on the moon will probably still be there for at least 100 million years.
99% of our solar systems mass is the sun"
I'll do my best and all in 1 single breath so ahem here goes...
Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery,
That all started with the big bang (bang)!
"Since the dawn of man" is really not that long,
As every galaxy was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song.
A fraction of a second and the elements were made.
The bipeds stood up straight,
The dinosaurs all met their fate,
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died (they froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangaea
See ya wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang!
It all started with the big bang!
It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way.
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here, it won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll make an even bigger bang!
Australopithecus would really have been sick of us
Debating how we're here, they're catching deer (we're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy (Descartes or Deuteronomy)
It all started with the big bang!
Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang!
It all started with the big... bang! |

"In the future the Earth will take 45 days to complete a rotation,which currently takes 24 hours."
This is because of the friction caused by the tides, which are in turn caused by the moon. As the tides sweep around the planet friction appears through oceanic pinch points ie straits. This is effectively slowing the earth's rotation. However a fundamental law in physics states that angular momentum must be conserved, so where does it go? It's actually being transferred to the moon by pushing the moons orbit continuously and ever so slightly away from the earth. Neat isn't it? |

"The earth is currently going through a massive decline in its magnetic shielding that is allowing record numbers of high energy cosmic rays to hit our atmosphere, creating clouds and a cooling effect across the planet that hides some of the heating caused by humans putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. "
This is probably due to the flipping of the earth's magnetic poles which occurs roughly every 10,000. We know this because of the alternating magnetic orientations of basalt in places like the mid Atlantic trench where new ocean floor is continuously being made. |

The sun has sound waves trapped in its interior. These waves are similar to the waves that we detect from earthquakes have given rise to a field called stellasiezmology and they have allowed us to study the structure of stars (not just the sun).
Also the step that determines the rate in which a star burns through its hydrogen fuel is a rare nuclear decay. So two hydrogen atoms (protons) have enough combined energy to overcome the repelling forces of two like charges and fuse. 99% of the time these two protons would immediately fly apart again. However that 1% of the time one of the protons changes into a neutron and makes dueterium (heavy hydrogen) which is much easier for a star to fuse into other elements. |

Anyway my personal favourite is when you look at the stars you're seeing their position form 1000s of years ago (as noted above). But then thinking about this further... you look at the stars, you're actually looking backward in time.

This is what does my head in, they say the universe is 13.5 billion yrs old, if its 93 billion light years across and started at a single point then that means it is expanding in all directions at around 7 times the speed of light.
Yet they claim nothing can pass the speed of light  |

the way this was explained to me is to imagine a boat pushing against a current. The speed through the water may be a lot greater than speed over the surface of the planet.
So light leaving a star that is travelling in opposite direction to earth, both at near the speed of light, will take a lot longer to reach us.
|
Reply privately (closed, thread got too big) | |
As observed from here, yes, the furthermost stars do travel at several times the speed of light. The reason is that time as observed from earth bears no relation to time for an observer on the distant star. The speed of light limit defined by the General Theory of Relativity only applies to 'nearby' space. Far away, movement and gravitation distorts time so that the speed of light is not exceeded... because time itself has been distorted and speed is measured in distance 'per second'.
Hope that helps. If that's not complicated enough try quantum dynamics. |

For NASA, exploring Psyche 16 will be a momentous achievement due to its unique composition. The asteroid appears to be an exposed nickel-iron core of an early planet, which the space agency believes will provide a better understanding of how solar systems are formed.
Aside from iron and nickel, the asteroid is also composed of other precious metals including gold and platinum. It is believed that Psyche 16 has enough gold to cripple Earth’s gold industry
It is estimated that the metals on the asteroid are worth over $10 quadrillion. If brought to Earth, the asteroid can make everyone billionaires. |
