β¨The real color of the sun is white. The reason that the Sun looks yellow to us is because the Earth's atmosphere scatters higher wavelength colors, like red, orange and yellow less easily. Hence, these wavelengths are what we see, which is why the Sun appears yellowβ¨

What is the largest structure in the universe??
β¨The largest known structure in the Universe is called the 'Hercules-Corona Borealis Great Wall', discovered in November 2013 by Istvan hortvan
π₯This object is a galactic filament, a vast group of galaxies bound together by gravity, Measuring approximately 10 billion light years in lengthβ¨

β¨Famous globular cluster M13 has 100,000 stars packed into a space 150 light years across. The centre of this cluster is so crowded that itβs thought that stars crash into each other forming new suns called βblue stragglersββ¨

Does sound travel in space?
β¨No, we cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travelβ¨

What's inside a blackhole?
β¨While they may seem like a hole in the sky because they don't produce light, a black hole is not empty, It's actually a lot of matter condensed into a single point. This point is known as a singularityβ¨
