Did you ever knew…

That there is no air in outer space.

OR…

That in outer space people are living since 39 years. But they live only for short periods of time, on the board of space stations.

Colegiul National Iasi


Jules Verne…

In 19 century wrote a book called “From Earth to Moon” where realized that there was no air on the Moon.

Because of the gravity astronauts must always use seat.Even when they sleep or go to toilet.


Wernher von Braun is the inventor of the rocket.


Neutron Stars

Neutron stars are the walking corpses of the cosmos. But these weird objects, dense beyond belief, can pack a lively wallop.


• A big star ends its life in a giant explosion called a supernova.If the star is massive enough -- roughly four to eight times more massive than our Sun -- and the conditions right, the core implodes, forming a very dense state of matter. So dense that electrons are squeezed into the protons, forming neutrons.


The result, a neutron star, can stuff the mass of 1.4 Suns into an area 7 to 12 miles (11 to 20 kilometers) across.


Electrostatic Levitation

Astronauts aboard the Apollo missions reported a weird glow on the horizon of the Moon, one that resembled something that might occur in Earth's atmosphere.


This was unexpected since apart from a few rogue atoms evaporated out of the Moon's barren surface, our satellite doesn't have an atmosphere to speak of," says Matthew Genge of the London Natural History Museum.


Moon clouds? Lunar aurora? The Man on the Moon with a lava lamp?

"The glow actually came from the reflection of sunlight from dust particles that lift up from the Moon's surface," Genge says. "It's a process known as electrostatic levitation."


The Sun's Hot Atmosphere

• Likewise, you might expect the Sun to be

hottest in the middle, and then get cooler as you moved to the surface and then farther out.


• But, in fact, the temperature rises sharply in the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. And the same is true of other stars.
