3.    The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy: Our solar system lies in one of the spiral arms of the Milky Way, a galaxy containing hundreds of billions of stars.

4.    The Moon is moving away from Earth: The Moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of about 3.8 centimeters per year due to gravitational interactions.

5.    Black holes are incredibly dense: Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape from them. They are the result of stellar collapses and can be incredibly dense.

6.    Space is extremely cold: In outer space, temperatures can drop to hundreds of degrees below zero. Without a heat source, spacecraft and astronauts must protect themselves from the extreme cold.

7.    The universe is expanding: The universe is constantly expanding since the Big Bang. Galaxies are moving away from each other, and this expansion is one of the main accepted cosmological theories.These are just a few interesting facts about space, which is a fascinating and constantly evolving topic in science and space exploration

8.    Space is incredibly quiet: Unlike in science fiction movies, in space there is no air to carry sound. Therefore, you can't hear any explosions or noises in space.

9.    Stars twinkle due to the atmosphere: When we see stars twinkling in the night sky, it is actually due to interference from our atmosphere. Stars are constant points of light in space.

10.    The speed of light is amazing: The speed of light is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This means that light from the Sun takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach the Earth.
