Black holes are incredibly dense regions in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape their gravitational pull.

Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars. It would take over 100,000 years to travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other at the speed of light.

Scientists have discovered thousands of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system). Some of these exoplanets are located within the habitable zone, where conditions for life could exist.

Throughout history, galaxies have collided with each other, creating stunning celestial displays and reshaping the structures of the involved galaxies.

As objects approach the speed of light, time slows down relative to a stationary observer. This phenomenon, known as time dilation, is a consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity.

The cosmic microwave background is the faint radiation that permeates the universe. It is considered the afterglow of the Big Bang and provides important clues about the early universe.

Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic radiation. They rotate incredibly fast, with some completing hundreds of rotations per second.
