What are the most fascinating science facts?
- Contrary to the popular belief maximum oxygen on Earth comes from the oceans. (Atleast half of it)
- Marine organisms such as plankton, seaweeds and other photosynthesizer are direct contributor to the fresh air.
- There are more trees on Earth than stars in our galaxy.
- There could be about 100 billion to 400 billion stars in the Milky Way. Whereas according to 2015 journal Nature the number of trees around the world is about3.04 trillion.
- The Moon is lemon-shaped.
- Our natural satellite isn't actually spherical, as it seems to be, but, instead has flattened poles and bulges around the Equator, which makes is overall actual shape, lemo like.
- Mercury is still shrinking.
- In 2016, data from Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging (MESSENGER) aircraft revealed cliff-like landforms known as fault scarps. Because of their relatively small size, scientists are sure that they are newly formed (comparatively) and that the planet is still contracting.
- Babies are born with as much as 300 bones.
- As we grow old and taller many of our bones fuse together making the over-all count to be 206.
- The Apollo astronauts' footprints on the moon will probably stay there for at least 100 million years.
- Thanks to the absence of atmosphere on moon, there's practically no wind or water to wash these foot prints off.
