There are many interesting facts and figures in space, but in this
article I want to talk about some of the creepiest things that are out there,
in space, or have been discovered in space.
While
some of us might feel a little creepy in space, it's hard to deny that exciting
discoveries are made there. Today we're going to look at some facts about the
universe that you probably didn't know, but that might make you cream your
panties just a little bit...
Today is
your lucky day. We're going to be looking at a couple of facts about space that
are so weird that we think you'll get turned on by them! Let's find out what
gets you all hot and bothered...
Here are
few Creep fun facts in space:
1. The
sun's a "typical" star — and it's not going to last forever:
You've
probably heard that the sun is going to die, but what do we mean? It's possible
that it won't die in our lifetime or even on our planet. In fact, the sun could
live for billions of years longer than we do.
The sun
isn't going to be around forever — but it could last for billions of years
longer than we will. If you're wondering why this is the case, it's because
there are so many factors involved.
The sun's
original mass was about 1/10th of what it is now. In other words, if you took a
star like our sun and poked a hole in it, it would look like a basketball with
an air bubble inside of it (just like these). The sun has been getting bigger
over time thanks to nuclear fusion reactions inside its core — and this process
will continue as long as there are hydrogen atoms present in space.
In fact,
scientists predict that the sun will continue to grow until its core collapses
under gravity and pressure from its own weight. At this point, the star will
become a red giant before shrinking down into a white dwarf — which can only
exist for another billion years before becoming a black
2. Over
half of our universe’s matter is missing:
One of
the most bizarre things about space is that we can’t see it.
Over half
of our universe’s matter is missing.
We know
this because we have a theory called dark matter, which is a kind of matter
that doesn’t interact with light. Neither does ordinary matter – what
scientists call baryonic matter. These are the kinds of things you can see:
planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies.
But there
are many other kinds of stuff out there that don’t show up on telescopes or
even in particle colliders like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. We only know
about these things because they affect how stars orbit around each other and
galaxies form.
3. Planets
form from the leftover gas and dust after stars are born and die:
Planets
are formed from the leftover gas and dust after stars are born and die.
A star is
born when a cloud of gas and dust, called a nebula, contracts under its own
gravity until it forms a compact object. At this point, the material may begin
to shine as a hot star or cool down into a red giant. When it finally dies, the
remains of the star will form into planets and other objects.
Planets
that form around young stars are called protoplanetary disks. These disks grow
larger by collecting more material from their parent star and spreading it out
over time. Eventually this material becomes too heavy for the disk to support
itself, so it begins to collapse under its own gravity (called gravitational
collapse). The result is that planets form as rings around these dying stars:
The inner edge of each ring is where the planet would be located if there were
no other bodies present in its immediate vicinity.[3]
4. The
universe is dying — slowly, but surely:
The
universe is dying — slowly, but surely. It has been estimated that the universe
will eventually run out of energy, and the light from all stars will disappear.
This is known as the Big Crunch. The Big Crunch is not something you can see
with your naked eyes; it's a theoretical model that tries to explain what will
happen in the distant future when all matter in the universe becomes compressed
together into a super dense singularity.
If you
were to live long enough to witness this, you would see the end of everything
as we know it. There would be no more stars or planets or people; only darkness
and heat and pressure until everything reached a temperature so high that atoms
would start to break apart, sending out random bursts of energy like tiny
explosions every once in a while for billions of years before finally
collapsing back down into their normal states again at some point in time after
billions of years (or even longer).
The only
way to prevent this from happening is by using our minds and our ingenuity to
put an end to the violence of nature, by building something great where nothing
existed before.
5.The
universe is actually getting darker every day:
The
universe is not only expanding, but the dark energy in it is also pushing
outward and making the universe grow faster. The result? The universe is
getting darker.
This
effect was first predicted by Albert Einstein in his 1916 general theory of
relativity. But it wasn't until 2004 when NASA's Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy
Probe (WMAP) measured this effect that scientists confirmed its existence.
In a
sense, we're living inside an expanding bubble of darkness because dark energy
is pushing outward at an accelerating rate. And as this bubble gets bigger, it
will become progressively darker as well.
Conclusion:
Planets
don't get enough credit for the fun random facts they have to offer. In other
words, it's important to put a little learning into every day life. Be sure to
live in the moment, embrace adventure, and remember that there is always a
little bit of science behind everything. Keep your mind engaged with
interesting facts on an almost daily basis, and you'll find yourself opening up
your horizons to new possibilities.
