1. Stars look like beautify sparkling white diamonds in the sky. They contain full of very hot gases contaminated by its own gravity.
2. We can look at around 2,500 stars at the most. That’s about 1/100,000,000th of the total stars just in our own galaxy.
3. The Milky Way contains between 100 and 400 billion stars. But it’s just an estimation. The closest star to the sun is Proxima Centauri. It is 4.24 light years away, or 70,000 years away from our fastest spacecraft.
4. The largest stars are called as VY Canis Majoris. The diameter is of the size 1,500 of the sun.
5. Neutron star is formed due to gravitational collapses. Its width is of 25 km and the mass is about 3 times of sun and 1 million times of earth. Imagine a Fork having mass of 1000 Great Pyramids of Giza.
6. Did you know, the visible at night will be 1000 times brighter than our sun. The stars in sky which is blue in colour are the hottest of all.
7. It’s been estimated that heavy star supernova are turned into black holes. The nearest star to the Earth is the Sun, which is known as a G2 yellow dwarf star.
8. It is estimated that human can see upto 2000 to 3000 stars only at night even when the night is dark. Our sun is a green with blue mixed star. And is the nearest star to the earth.
9. Each galaxy contains hundreds of billions stars. It is estimated to be over 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Eta Carinae is considered as the brightest star and temperature measured is 37,000°C (67,000°F).
10. So with our current latest technology, how long can we see the stars? The comparison would be like “Drop of water in Sea”.
