How Long Does a Star Live?
✨Compared to humans, stars live incredibly long lives. The shortest-lived ones can shine for tens of millions of years while the old-timers can last for many billions of years. The study of star's lives and how they are born, live, and die ls called "stellar evolution", and involves looking at many types of stars to understand their life cycles✨

What Happens When Black Holes Collide?
✨Certainly, it's a very energetic event and would give off a lot of radiation. However, another cool thing happens: the collision creates gravitational waves and those can be measured! Those waves are also created when neutron stars collide✨!

Why Mars Is Red?
✨The rocks and soil on the surface of mars contains a dust that is made up of iron and few other elements. This iron reacts with molecules of oxygen to produce iron oxide, otherwise known as rust. So basically, the whole planet is rusty✨

✨The moon appears upside - down in the southern hemisphere(Australia) from that in the Northern.
This is because we're on a spherical planet.
🌑If i stand at the North pole, with my "head up", and have a friend stand on the south pole, With their head "Up", relative to the ground, our two heads are pointed in exactly opposite direction✨

✨Neptune was the frist planet to be discovere only through mathematical calculations rather than astronomical observation✨
