 Hey Guys....!!!  I believe that this post is going to be one of the most  amazing and fabulous posts you guys have ever gone through. At least for those who have an immense curiosity about the cool facts of our Universe.

So be ready to introduce yourself to the coolest facts of the universe ever.....

☀  Sun is the 2nd most perfect sphere ever observed in the universe. It was most spherical till 17th Nov. 2016. Now the title goes to Kepler 11145123.

☀  Light is created inside sun’s core, but it takes 30,000 years for it to reach sun’s surface i.e. time lag between production of light and emission from surface is tens of thousands of years.    

☀  Sun appears white from space, not yellow.

☀ Helix nebula and Andromeda galaxy would be clearly visible in the sky given- no light pollution, no decrease in brightness over distance. Andromeda would be six times the size of moon and helix nebula about the size of moon. Google the pictures of Andromeda and helix and imagine how beautiful it would look. :-) (The brightness of Andromeda in this image is highly exaggerated)

☀  Mercury is the only planet smaller than a natural satellite of any planet. (Ganymede>Mercury)

☀  Venus is the hottest planet in solar system not mercury.

☀  Earth is the densest planet in solar system.

☀  Earth is the most massive solid body in solar system. List of Solar System objects by size. (Sun, Jupiter, Saturn- Gaseous || Uranus, Neptune- Icey).

☀  Though outer planets are way bigger than the Earth, gravity is almost the same, except for Jupiter.

☀  Distance between Sun and Jupiter is almost equal to distance between Jupiter and Saturn.

☀  Mass of Jupiter=2.5 times ‘Mass of all planets combined’

☀  Neptune was mathematically predicted before it’s discovery.

☀  Average temperature of the universe or temperature of empty space is 2.73 Kelvin. But lowest temperature recorded in universe is on earth. Scientist have achieved up to 10^(-10) Kelvin. This is pretty cool.

☀  Not only there are super huge structures but universe has supervoids too. Largest void in space is >1 billion ly in diameter. It is void of not only matter but also dark matter- It is a cold spot.

☀  Fastest Pulsar star spins with 716 rotations per second. Hence it’s equator speed is very close to the speed of light.

☀  Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are considered as the most violent type of explosions in the universe.

☀  Supernovae can briefly outshine the parent galaxy and emit more energy that the star has emitted over it’s entire lifetime.

💧 Russia has a larger surface area than Pluto. 

💧 If you believe that you’re truly one in a million, there are still approximately 7,184 more people out there just like you.

💧   The names of the three wise monkeys are: Mizaru: See no evil, Mikazaru: Hear no evil, and Mazaru: Speak no evil.

💧  This fact is not amazing , but it is interesting in the way that it is unknown to most of the people.

 If your internet broadband connection states a speed of 8 Mbps , then it is not 8MBps.

8 Mbps = 8 Megabits per second .
8MBps = 8 Megabytes per second .

1 Megabit (MB) = 8 Megabytes (Mb)

So 8 Mbps means that you can download 1 MB of data in 1 second and not 8 MB of data in 1 second .

I have mostly seen people complaining about their internet speeds without knowing this .

💧  A single cloud can weigh more than 1 million pounds.

                                               

💧  There is a floating post office in India.

              

💧  The 2011 Kumbh Mela was the largest gathering of people with over 75 million pilgrims. The gathering was so huge that the crowd was visible from space.

                                                                                                                                  

Interesting Facts About Rubik's Cube

Interesting Facts About Rubik's Cube

Amazing Facts Sapna Dorbi   June 24, 2017

The Rubik’s Cube (known as a 3x3x3 to some) was first invented in 1974 by Hungarian professor Ernő Rubik. Back then, it was named the Magic Cube.

     

When he made it, he himself wasn't able to solve it. It took him about a month to figure out a method to solve it. In 1980, the 'Magic Cube' is renamed The 'Rubik's Cube'. The Rubik's Cube is the most popular puzzle in the world. They were very popular during the 80s and 90s and now they've become even more popular thanks to speedcubing enthusiasts around the world. Speedcubing is the activity of solving the Rubik's Cube as quickly as possible. There are various speedcubing competitions that are held around the world.


 💬 You know..how interesting is it? 👀

A Standard 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube can have 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations, but only 1 solution.

                                           

To put this into perspective, if we have one Rubik’s cube for each possible combination, then all the cubes will cover the whole surface of 275 earth-sized planets. and among all of them, only 1 cube will be in perfectly solved state.

But for some people, this was not complicated enough. They created 4x4x4 cubes, and also 5x5x5 cubes.

A 4x4x4 cube has 7401196841564901869874093974498574336000000000 combinations. If you have that many teaspoons of sugar, it will fill a sphere the size of the solar system 3.5 times over.                                                                                                                                                             A 5x5x5 Rubik’s cube  has 282870942277741856536180333107150328293127731985672134721536000000000000000 combinations, this is close to number of atoms in the known universe. and yet, people can solve it within few minutes.

👇 Some more interesting facts...👱

• Rubik’s cube obsessives (including me ) are called as “Cubaholics”. There is even a documentary created for this.

• Only 4% of world population can solve a Rubik’s cube.
• When solving cube under a minute , it comes down to 1% of total world.
• It has 26 small cubes in it called as “cubies” or “cubelets”. Additionally, it has 54 outer surfaces with six colours.
• Nearly, 350 million cubes has been sold all over the world since its discovery.
• Rubik’s cube come in different configurations like 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4,…22x22x22.
• You know, Rubik’s cube improves our sharpness, IQ and patience too (Verified by my own experience).
