Mind-bending truths about the cosmos ✦ ✧ ★ ⋆
Light travels 299,792,458 m/s. It takes just 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth.
The observable universe is ~93 billion light-years in diameter, containing over 2 trillion galaxies.
Our galaxy alone contains between 100 and 400 billion stars. The Sun is just one of them.
Saturn's density is so low (0.69 g/cm³) that it would float on water — if you had an ocean large enough.
The Moon is 384,400 km away. All 8 planets of the Solar System could fit in that gap simultaneously.
When you look at a star 100 light-years away, you see it as it was 100 years ago. Telescopes are time machines.
