Bright Side Universe

Are you ready to dive into the deep blue sea and uncover the real reason we're not ocean explorers extraordinaire? The ocean is hiding in plain sight, and we humans love shiny stuff on land more than underwater gems. The ocean gets super intense, and our human bodies just ain't built to handle that underwater squeeze. And don't forget the technology struggle. The ocean's depths are tricky, and our tech is still figuring out how to handle all those challenges. And last but not least, the ocean is like a VIP club for some exclusive marine creatures.

Hey guys! Do you love cool facts about space? Wanna see one of the most significant astronomical events of all time? Then we go to South America! In the Atacama Desert, Chile, we find the most advanced technology for space observation. Here, the Royal Astronomical Community members watched for six months as a black hole simply absorbed a massive star. By the way, these are the same scientists who proved that in the center of our Milky Way galaxy is a supermassive black hole. And even took a photo of it!

Imagine a star the size of our sun-- about 860,000 miles wide. Such stars have enough weight to create a strong gravitational field, holding many planets in their orbit. And now, let’s place a giant black hole next to it. The hole is absolutely black, shaped like a disc, and weighs a billion times more than this star. The force of its gravitational field is incredible. Nothing can leave its gravity force. Objects that can move at the speed of light will still fall into this black abyss. Even light itself cannot escape its boundaries. So what happens to a star as soon as it enters the gravitational field of a black hole?

Hey guys! Today, we’re on a cosmic journey to find the biggest star in the Universe! Our own Sun is not the biggest one out there, but it’s still massive! You could fit 1 million Earths inside it. That means, if you think of the sun like a basketball, Earth would be half the size of a pencil eraser. The Sun makes up 99.9% of all the mass in the entire solar system. Bu the way, did you know that large stars shine brighter and hotter?

What about the famous North Star? Funny enough, different stars have had this title over the years, and more will take it in the future! That’s because Earth’s Pole Star changes every 26,000 years. Imagine our planet like a spinning top. The northern pole will shift around in a little circle, pointing at different stars to the true north. The current one is a supergiant 37 times wider and 5 times heavier than our Sun! But it’s still not the biggest star known to humanity…

A day on Venus is a cosmic marathon, lasting a whopping 243 Earth days – talk about taking your time! But hold on, it gets even more mind-bending. While a day is dragging its feet on Venus, a whole year breezes by in just 225 Earth days. Wrap your head around this: a day on Venus is actually longer than its entire orbit around the Sun. NASA dishes out these mind-blowing space nuggets, making you wonder if time itself is playing a game of cosmic hide-and-seek up there. Space – where a day feels like an eternity, and a year is just a cosmic blink.
