Incredible Facts of Universe and also the Definition, Observation, Origin, Existence and Elements of Universe
Ever you have wondered or dreamt what lies beyond our earth and solar System? Have you got some time to see the Awesome glittering stars above your head and praise God for creating such wonders? Many people around the world enjoy these awesome elements of mysteries that exist beyond our Earth. These elements and heavenly bodies which includes moons, planets, stars, galaxies, Gravitational force, Radiation Belts, intergalactic space elements, some smallest subatomic particles, matter and energy, the dark matter and dark energy, Black holes, Light are Collectively named or called as UNIVERSE. In simple words the Universe is defines as the Total or totality of Existence that exits and expands, till now the exact measurement of Diameter of Universe cannot be measured even with our advanced technology.

Facts of Origin of Universe
- For many centuries people believe that universe may have a beginning and when the discovery of cosmic microwave radiation was done in 20th century gave people some evidence that Universe might have a beginning
- Timeline of Universe
- There are many theories regarding the origin of Universe and also the Ultimate end of our Universe. One such theory is Big Bang, which proposes that our Universe originated from an extreme dense hot phase called Planck epoch. In this Planck epoch, the gravity force retained all sorts of energies; matter etc… which then got exploded or inflated to form stars, planets and other heavenly bodies and this inflation continues till now as the Universe expands. This Planck epoch extended from time of zero to 10−43 seconds approximately. But no evidence had been submitted to prove this theory because it does not explain the origin of life and accuracy of natural laws. Also many religious views are widespread regarding the Origin of Universe.
- And from Planck epoch, series of incidents named Quark epoch, Hadron epoch, Lepton epoch and Photon epoch which are called as Big Bang. This over all process of Big Bang is assumed to be lasted for some 13 billion years.
- The Universe is highly composed of Microwave radiation and other radiation belts.
- The most amazing fact is that if the Universe is very dense it will re-collapse into singularity and also if our Universe has low amount of matter then the expansion of universe will be greatly accelerated, So that no planets, other heavenly bodies and even life can form and sustain. This shows the intelligence in creation by God.
- Solar system also travels around Milky Way and the time taken to complete one orbit is called Galactic Year, which means 239-259 million years. Our solar system has been in existence for around 20 Galactic years.
- Uranus has 27 moons and all the moons are named after the characters of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope.
- Dark matter is a mysterious energy and it contains most of the Universe mass. This concept was first used by Fritz Zwicky in 1933.
- Since Pluto’s moon is around the size of Pluto, Both heavenly bodies are considered to be double dwarf planet.
- The closest planet to Sun is mercury, but mercury has ice craters in it.
- Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto are made of gas rather than solid.
- Our solar system consists of 9 planets as we already known and additional two planets are said to be discovered named Corot 7D and Xena.
- Mars the planet near to Earth has two moons named Phobos and Deimos, which means fear and panic named after Greek mythology.
- Do you know that over One million Earth can fit on the sun!
- Saturn’s E ring may contain salt in it and this gives an idea that its moon Enceladus can hold an underground Ocean.
- It is suggested that every Galaxy might have a massive black hole in the middle which exerts heavy gravitational force on the surrounding bodies and there is a Black hole at the midst of our Galaxy which is 13 million mile in Diameter.
- NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) was established on July 29, 1958 and their head quarter is located in Washington D.C.
- Another new ring that surrounds Saturn was discovered by Spitzer infrared telescope.
- Our sun is young and it is 3, 30,330 times larger than earth.
- Our sun provides 126,000,000,000,000 horsepower every day to our planet but its energy cannot be stored as we are lack of technology for storing such huge energy.
- Black Holes are also mysterious object of Universe and its Gravitational force is so strong that it can attract or swallow any objects in the Universe, even a star and light!!! If an object of 1kg weight is brought near black hole at the range of 5-6 m the object would weigh up to a million million tones.
- Black hole
- The largest known star is called as Canis Majoris, if it were to be placed at the position of Sun it would devour up to Jupiter
- The moon is nearly 1 million times drier than Gobi desert.
- Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to us, which is about 49 trillion miles away (4.2 light years). This star lies in the Alpha Centauri star System.
- The brightest star ever found is Sirius star A and B which is about 9 light years away.
- The Distance between Sun and Moon is 150,000,000 kilometers but the distance is not constant
- There may be about 100 billion Galaxies in Observable Universe. Galaxies are of three main types: Elliptical Galaxies, Spiral Galaxies, Irregular Galaxies
- The Earth is orbiting the Sun at the speed of 30km/s. The Sun is orbiting the centre of the Milky Way at the speed of 220km/s. The Milky Way moves around the region of space called Great Attractor at the speed of 1000km/s.
- Each Galaxy contains Stars, Stellar remains, gas and dust and finally the dark matter. The Dark matter accounts for about 92% of mass in most galaxies.
- The planet Saturn has a storm on its north pole called as the hexagon which may be nearly 14,000 km long at the speed of 200m/hr.
- A full moon is nearly nine times bigger than half moon.
- The brightest stars in clear sky are nothing but Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury.
- The comet’s tail is formed as the sun melts the ice and dust particles in it, when the comet approaches it…
- A neutron Star named Magnetar has magnetic field one thousand million million times stronger than Earth’s magnetic field.
- Comets are rich sources of water and carbon while asteroids are rich in minerals.
- Super Nova is defined as the explosion of stars in lack of Fuel; especially it happens among white dwarfs.
- A star named as LP 327-186 also called as white dwarf is smaller than Texas but very dense. It would weigh nearly 1.5 million tones when brought to Earth.
- The first Asteroid was discovered in 1801.
- Halley Comet is seen once for every 76 years and it was last seen on 1986.
- A star named as Upsilon Andromeda B is hot as lava on one side and freezing cold on other side.
- The Universe is said to contain about 50,000,000,000 galaxies and each galaxy may contain 100,000,000,000-1,000,000,000,000 stars in them.
- The longest and deepest canyon in the solar system lies in the planet mars called as Valles Marineris.
- Mirrors have been left in the moon by Astronomers for measuring the distance between Earth and moon accurately by laser beams.
- A supernova can release energy of 125,000 trillion trillion times than a Hiroshima bomb explosion which can release only 84 trillion joules of energy.
- A supernova
- Each Galaxy make their own stars and the fastest star making Galaxy is called as Star burst Galaxy which produces 4000 stars per years! This galaxy is also called as “Baby Boom”. Our Galaxy can make only 10 stars per year.
- Spinning stars are also found in Universe and the fastest spinning Pulsar star is named as PSRJ1748-2446AD which spins 70,000 km/s at its equator but it is only 16km wide!!!
- A spinning Pulsar star
- Jupiter is the fastest Rotation planet in the solar system.
- The diameter of moon is roughly around 2000 km.
- Opposite of black holes may exists white holes and it may spray out matter and light from them.
- Neil Armstrong was the first to step on the moon on July 20, 1969.
- Jupiter is the heavier planet, in fact it is heavier than all other planets put together.
- Do you know that just a half a billionth of energy only reaches the Earth from the Sun!!!
- Earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system.
- Mercury and Venus don’t have moons.
- About 3600 comets have been identified till now.
