✨Telescope have detected the oldest known Galaxy in existence, EGS-zs8-1, which is 13 billion light years away. Since the universe itself is only about 13.8 billion years old, the galaxy must have formed when the universe was brand new (only 5% its current age.)✨

✨The moon has its own quakes, even though they're weaker than those experienced on Earth.
They're called MoonQuakes and may last up to 30 minutes✨

✨The density of Saturn is so low that if you were to put it in a giant glass of water it would float. The actual density of Saturn is 0.687 g/cm3 while the density of water is 0.998 g/cm3. At the equator Saturn has a radius of 60,268 ± 4 km – which means you would need an extremely large glass of water to test this out✨

💥World's youngest Astronomer!!
✨Nicole Oliveria is a young 8-years old Brazilian girl, who recently discovered seven asteroids, is being dubbed as the world’s youngest astronomer. Oliveira made a name for herself by participating in a citizen science program organised by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC)✨

✨The most powerful type of explosion in the universe, gamma ray busts are intense, high-frequency bursts of electromagnetic radiation that carry as much energy in milliseconds as our sun will give off in its entire lifespan. If one of these rays were to hit Earth it could strip the atmosphere of ozone in seconds, and some scientists even attribute a mass extinction 440 million years ago to gamma ray bursts hitting Earth✨

✨Black holes do not emit radiation on their own. They are detected by the radiation given off as material is heated in the accretion disk, and also by the black hole's gravitational effect on other nearby objects✨

✨NASA found impact glass on Mars. The glass, which is also found on Earth, forms at the moment an object makes an impact crater. After finding signs of ancient
life in impact glass on Earth last year, they hope to find the same on Mars✨

💥Difference between orange suit and white suit!
✨The orange coloured advanced Crew escape suit (ACES) is the space shuttle ascent and entry suit. This particular colour is highly visible against any kind of landscape, especially in the sea.
🧑🚀The white coloured ones are the bulkier extravehicular Activity (EVA) suits. That is because white reflects the strong heat of the sun and is easily visible against the black expanse of space✨
