Top 10 Surprising Facts About The Universe: 

1:Converting the Earth into a black hole: 

Earth can become a black hole. This can be achieved by compressing the earth down to the size of a marble, it would collapse by itself.

2:Galaxies in our universe: 

Using the data from the Hubble Telescope astronomers have calculated that there are likely to be around 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

3:Average distance between stars: 

The average distance between stars is 20 million miles. The two stars in Alpha Centauri are typically somewhere between 1 billion miles and three billion miles apart and this is the minimum distance between two stars.

4:Time taken by the Sun to travel around the galaxy: 

The Sun takes 225 million years to perform a complete circuit of the galaxy. Last time the Sun was in its current position in the galaxy the super-continent Pangaea was just about starting to break apart and early dinosaurs were making an appearance.

5:Total number of stars in our galaxy: 

Astronomers had estimated that the observable universe has more than 170 billion galaxies and there are around 400 billion stars present in our galaxy.

6:Existence of an infinite number of universes: 

This is more speculative theory than a fact, but several branches of mathematics, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics have all come to similar conclusions: our universe is just one of many and we actually exist in a ‘multiverse’.

7:Biggest ant tallest mountain in our solar system: 

'Olympus Mons' present on Mars is the tallest mountain on any of the planets of the Solar System. The volcano is located in Mars's western hemisphere at approximately 18.65°N 226.2°E. The mountain is a gigantic shield volcano standing at 26 kilometers tall and sprawling 600 kilometers across. The height of this mountain is three times higher than that of Mount Everest.

8:Creation of a giant bubble when water boils in space: 

When water boils, it creates thousands of little bubbles on Earth. But if it is boiled in space, it would produce one giant, bubble due to lack of buoyancy and convection.

9:A year on Venus is shorter than its day: 

Venus is the slowest rotating planet in our Solar System, so slow it takes longer to fully rotate than it does to complete its orbit. This means Venus has days that last longer than its years. 

10:Moon dust smells like gunpowder: 

Moondust is a very fine material. There is no official definition of what size fraction constitutes "dust"; someplace the cutoff at less than 50 μm in diameter, while others at less than 10 μm. Astronauts say that Moondust smells like gunpowder and it is extremely soft.
