Congratulations to the winners for Space gif’s :)

Someone had to ask... Can you fart in space? On Earth, farts are typically no big deal — smelly, harmless, and they quickly dissipate. But if you're an astronaut, every fart is a ticking time bomb. The gases in farts are flammable, which can quickly become a problem in a tiny pressurized capsule in the middle of space where your fart gases have no where to go.

The Eye of God nebula is a bright planetary nebula located about 700 light-years away in the constellation Aquarius; it’s also known as NGC 7293. In fact, the Helix Nebula is probably the closest planetary nebula we can see in the sky, and it shows the future that stars like our Sun go through when they run out of fuel and puff out their outer layers.

If two pieces of the same type of metal touch in space, they will bond and be permanently stuck together

Neutron stars can spin 600 times per second. Neutron stars are the densest and tiniest stars in the known universe and although they only have a radius of about 10 km (6 mi), they may have a mass of a few times that of the Sun.

Saturn has 150 moons and moonlets, all of which are frozen. Better be a fan of ice skating if you want to pay a visit!

very interesting thankyou,,

space fact! some scientists believe that the center of a singularity actually leads to another universe, like a very large, very all-encompassing set of nesting dolls!!

The sunset on Mars appears blue.

Congrats to the winners from round 1!! ^0^ <3 <3

I hope this one hasn't been posted yet 😅

"The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is one of its most familiar features. This persistent anticyclonic storm, which is located south of its equator, measures between 24,000 km in diameter and 12–14,000 km in height. As such, it is large enough to contain two or three planets the size of Earth’s diameter. And the spot has been around for at least 350 years, since it was spotted as far back as the 17th century."

It takes Mars 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun.

Fun space fact that I didn't know before:

The space between galaxies is not completely empty but has an average of one atom per cubic meter. Also, the reason that there is no sound in space because molecules are too far apart to transmit sound.

Space is completely silent. There is no atmosphere in space, which means that sound has no medium or way to travel to be heard. Astronauts use radios to stay in communication while in space, since radio waves can still be sent and received.

Driving a car to the nearest star at 70 mph would take more than 356 billion years.

Triton, one of Neptune's moons, is getting closer to Neptune and will eventually form a bigger ring than what Neptune now has.

Thank you very much! It was even a wishlist item ^_^

Light from most of the stars travels to our planet for long period of time and long way. So it is possible, that some of the stars, which we can see on our sky today, has already disappeared. (The life cycle of a star spans billions of years. The more massive the star, the shorter its life span.)

Europa, Jupiter's moon, has emerged as one of the most likely locations in the Solar System for potential habitability.

Pretty: This illustration of Jupiter's moon Europa shows how the icy surface may glow on its nightside, the side facing away from the Sun. Variations in the glow and the color of the glow itself could reveal information about the composition of ice on Europa's surface. (Source: Here)

For fun: If people on planet 66 million light years away look at Earth, they see dinosaurs.

Neptune is the only giant planet to display cloud shadows cast by high dispersed clouds on a lower, more continuous cloud bank.

Space fact: If you could lump together all the thousands of known asteroids in our solar system, their total mass wouldn’t even equal 10 percent of the mass of Earth’s Moon.

An interesting fact about space...hmm...here's a long one: it's interesting to me that in general people seem to think if we could travel at the speed of light, we could get places in our solar system really quickly. The fact of the matter is, though, that light speed still isn't efficient enough for interstellar space travel! In our own solar system, light speed is probably enough to get by, but the farther away we go, the longer it takes to get places and light speed just won't cut it. Introduce: warp-speed, aka Star Trek. They actually travel faster than the speed of light and thus they are able to travel relatively quickly (but still slower than Star Wars...) to various places within our quadrant.

A quick fact: all moonlight we see is 1.255 seconds old (that's how long it takes the light to travel at lightspeed from the moon to earth).

fun fact:

Pluto sometimes has an atmosphere. When Pluto elliptical orbit takes it closer to the Sun, its surface ice thaws and forms a thin atmosphere primarily of nitrogen which slowly escapes the planet. It also has a methane haze that hovers about 161 kilometres above the surface. The methane is dissociated by sunlight into hydrocarbons that fall to the surface and coat the ice with a dark covering. When Pluto travels away from the Sun the atmosphere then freezes back to its solid state.
