50 Surprising Facts About Space You Didn't Know

The first 1,000 people to sign up to Skillshare will get their first 2 months for free: skl.sh/infographics9_4
Today we're going to focus on education and learn more about space and space facts that you probably didn't know about! As has been famously said, space is the final frontier. The greatest of unknowns, space is far vaster than we can comprehend, and filled with phenomenon we barely understand. While we've been watching the heavens in awe for millennia, space exploration and discovery only began in earnest in the mid 20th century. Yet even what are no doubt our primitive findings still point at a universe more incredible than we ever thought. Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show - today we're taking a look at 50 incredible facts about space!

[@DivergentDroid]

Learn This: If Space were real (what the tell us it is) and has a very strong vacuum as they tell us, and Earth has an atmosphere that is right next to that vacuum - What keeps the atmosphere from being sucked off the Earth without a physical barrier ? - This Cannot happen, it would break the 2nd law of Thermodynamics. How can we see Stars trillions of light years away - Impossible, this is shown by the inverse square law of light propagation through a vacuum. Space, as they tell us, Is Fake !

[@DivergentDroid]

@@faxar1572 Electromagnetism and gravity are two totally separate processes that operate differently. What exactly is your claim here?

[@nathnathn]

Divergent Droid both play a role in the formation of a atmosphere. Gravity’s biggest role is the original collection of gasses. The electromagnetic field formed from the earths core plays a major role in avoid losing the atmosphere. The lose of the electromagnetic field in mars is the major cause of it losing its atmosphere.

actually the most powerful explosion is not a supernova , there are many other events which release up to/or more than 100 times more energy for example when black holes or neutron stars collide , but the most power full explosion since the big bang would be when 2 galaxy's collide , there's a place in the universe that releases enough energy to power earth for ab 2 billion years every second due to collision , and the average temperature there is ab 2 million degrees.

The labia majora

[@JackalX111]

My personal belief about blackholes & gravity is the entire mass (every atom) of a star is collapsed to the size of a single atom & due to the compressed inner-atom space of each atom, & the electrons moving at a magnified velocity due to the lose of the inner atom space (When you tuck in while spinning you accelerate, same principle), the forcefield created by that 1 atom exponentially magnified by the rest of the atoms in the star smooshed on it creates the gravity well we know & love. It's not a hole, but a super fast rotating (so much so that not even photons can match it), unfathomabley dense ball of unobtainium. Or in English, a gauss/coil rifle. Especially makes sense if you see radiation waves not as energy; but the 'wake' of an atom moving through space; but going faster than the light spectrum we see (radiation types are 'mach' levels). If it helps, the visible light spectrum is like the condensation cone on the nose of a jet breaking the sound barrier (only its out running sound, instead of light). Btw the atom would be invisible due to it out running the visible spectrum. Now toss in a little Heisenberg's theory on 'something doesn't exist until its observed' & there you go. ..i should probably get out more.
