During Cassini's flyby on July 14, 2005, the spacecraft found an icy volcano on the moon's south pole.

The Moon's magnetic field is over 100 times weaker than the Earth's and ranges from 1 to 100 nanotesla.

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.

There is a ridge on the surface of the moon, called the Kepler Dorsum.

It contains approximately 60 globular clusters, 700 open clusters, and 400 planetary nebulae.

The Moon moves around the Earth in an ellipse with an eccentricity of 0.0554, therefore its distance from the Earth varies from 363.104 km to 405.696 km.

In 1998, NASA, in collaboration with Roscosmos (Russia), ESA (Europe), CSA (Canada), and JAXA (Japan), launched the first component of the International Space Station (ISS).

The smallest brain mammal is the Etruscan shrew. The biggest one - the sperm whale.

The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy of type SBbc.

The Large Magellanic Cloud will collide with the Milky Way in about 2.4 billion years.
