Our galaxy is surrounded by a spherical halo that extends as much as 200.000 light-years from its center.

Whether the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds orbit the Milky Way has not yet been definitively confirmed, as research conducted by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006 may suggest that the speed of these objects is too high for our galaxy to support them.

One of the closest supernovae is SN 1987A, which exploded inside the Large Magellanic Cloud around February 23, 1987.

People suffering from anorexia often perceive themselves as overweight, although in reality, they are underweight.

On May 12th, 2022, NASA’s Event Horizon Telescope captured the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The element that distinguishes fungi from animal is the presence of cell walls and vacuoles, which in turn brings them closer to plants.

There are geyser-like fissures on the surface of Enceladus that eject streams of water vapor and dust into its atmosphere at speeds of about 400 m/s.

The Moon is the only one in the Solar System that has a dipole magnetic field capable of creating a magnetosphere.
