Quark Matter
✨Quark matter is an extremely dense phase of matter made up of subatomic particles called quarks. This theoretical phase would occur at extremely high temperatures and densities. It may exist at the heart of neutron stars. It can also be created for brief moments in particle colliders on Earth, such as CERN's large hadron collider✨

✨Almost all of ordinary matter (99.9% of it) is empty space. If you took out all of the space in our atoms, the entire human race (all 7 billion of us) would fit into the volume of a sugar cube.
But the fact is that the density of that sugar cube will be extremely high and could weigh up to five billion tons✨

✨Active galaxy NGC 1275 lies at the heart of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster, it has huge filaments of gas that extend out from the core. They look like the tentacles of an immense galactic octopus and are 20,000 light years long, and just 200 light years wide. They are held in place by powerful magnetic fields from the massive central black hole✨
