About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
How are you marking World Space Week? We have decided to bring you some awesome head squeeze space facts! Fact 1: The universe came into existence 14 billion years ago. Fact 2: Our nearest star is called Proxima Centauri which is 4.22 light years away. Fact 3: Space officially begins at the Karman line which is 100km above the earth. Fact 4: A Soyuz capsule will take you to the International Space Station. Fact 5: When taking off from Russia the cosmonauts kick you in the bum as you climb into the Soyuz capsule. Fact 6: At launch about 90% of the rocket's weight is the fuel used to power itself and most of that is used up in the first few minutes. Fact 7: Black holes are regions in space where there is so much gravity nothing can escape. Fact 8: In one second the sun produces 500,000 years of energy. Fact 9: James May farted in a spacesuit. If you have any other awesome space fact leave them below, or if you liked our space facts why not share it with your friends!

space isn't even real if you bust it open you'll find that its full of string.

Nothing new here...

A group of 73 quasars is the new official biggest thing in the universe Measuring a whopping 1 600 000 000 light years. The next biggest, the sloan great wall, measured a mere 1 300 000 000

Here is a space fact: a group of 73 quasars are the new official biggest thing in the universe at 1.6 billion light years across. The previous candidate ,The Sloan Great Wall, Measured 1.3 billion light years across. That's 300 million lightyears less.

As far as is currently known, it just adds that mass to itself in the singularity at the centre.
-
Haha, gotta love James May :)
-
first of all thank you for the explaination. I thought that gravity makes time move slower (relatively). So, to us the process shall take very very long, right?
-
a book called the stones cry out by Randall Price shows a lot of archaeology that supports the Bible and the case for a Creator by Lee Strobel interviews scientists who expose the holes in evolution.
-
This may sound stupid, but she said the nearest star is proxima centauri, i thought it was the sun. Or is that the next nearest star?
-
... of the 12 men that have walked and played on the moon ... how many are left with us and who is the oldest ... who has spent the longest amount of time on the lunar surface ? Put it all in one vid ... plz HdSqz ... I'll try not to sneeze ...

Apollo astronauts could not get life insurance, so before the mission they would sign cards for there familys to sell if they didn't make it back.

black holes don't take an eternity to absorb a star, many of them have completely engulfed the star that they came from and the only way to spot them is by the emissions of radiation released whenever matter gets sucked in or by the way the black holes bend light around them (so you see sort of a Predator like shimmer around a black patch of emptiness in space).
-
can you explain?
-
AND ALSO MAKES ME THINK LIAM GOTTA DESERVE A HEADSQUEEZE T SHIRT. LIAM... THANK YOU. GET IN TOUCH VIA 360 WEBSITE WITH YOUR DETAILS.
-
the thing is, what you said isn't true.
-
oh yes, you are so right, but now I have other question: black holes is basically eating up stars, which omit light, so a star can never be eaten up by a black hole because it takes an eternity to eat it (relative to us) so basically black hole shall look like full of stars about to be eaten up i.e. bright.
-
it's Bose-Einstein condensate, and it's considered a 5th state of matter because it behaves differenty from any other state (solid, liquid, gas, and plasma). It occurs at temperatures that are just fractions of a degree above absolute zero.
-
The matter just gets stored there, the black hole gets bigger and bigger. Some energy may eventually leak out because of some quantum mechanics principle, but for the most part it just sort of gets crunched in.
-
When I first read this title, I thought it said "Awesome Space FARTS for World Space Week" :)
-
Don't have a space fact, but question. If a black hole consumes all that matter, where does it go? It can't just disappear? Does it just spit it all out at the other end (wherever it is), emit in form of energy, or store it inside in some form in order to collapse on itself a bit later and form new star/galaxy/universe/...coffee machine?
