10 AMAZING ASTRONOMY FACTS
INTRODUCTION
As we continue to explore the vast depths of the universe, we learn more about the stars,
the planets, the constellations, and the galaxies.
Some are interesting, and some are confusing. Anyway, here’s a list of a few of the amazing
and interesting facts on astronomy based on our current knowledge of the cosmos. Have a
look.
1. The core of the Sun releases energy equivalent to 100 billion nuclear bombs every
second.
2. Galileo is often wrongly credited with the invention of telescope. Johannes
Lippershey's the inventor.
3. On Venus, a day is longer than a year on Earth.
4. Oxygen is generally circulated around the helmet of an astronaut to prevent misting on the visor.
5. Black holes produce such powerful gravity that even light cannot escape from their
gravitational clutches.
6. Shooting stars aren't real stars. They're tiny dust particles falling through the atmosphere
vaporizing completely in the process.
7. Neil Armstrong’s first words on the moon were: “That’s one small step for a man; one giant
leap for mankind.”
8. The galaxy in which we live in (i.e., the Milky Way) is only one among the BILLIONS of others
in space.
9. Spacecrafts come with double hulls to protect themselves from damage caused as a result of
outer space objects crashing into them.
10. The word astronaut originates from the Greek word “Astron,” meaning star, and “nautes,”
signifying sailor.
