The international Space Station is about 418 kilometers above the Earth in space. It orbits the Earth at a speed of about 17,500 miles per hour or 28,160 kilometers per hour all the time. All the scientists who go to the space station from Earth for research in space have to face many challenges there, because the world of space is full of mysteries, there are so many mysteries that still remain, about which people are still not able to find out. Let us tell you today about the five strangest things that happen in space.
Supersonic shocks
Any particle in space transfers energy without touching. This strange energy transfer takes place through some invisible structures, which is called shocks. In these shocks, energy is transferred through plasma waves and electric and magnetic fields. These are called supersonic shocks.
Flattening of pupils of the eyes
There is a lack of gravity in space, due to which the pupils of the astronauts become flat, due to which their vision becomes blurred. At the same time, the back parts of the eyes of some astronauts become flat, while others have swelling in the optic nerves.
Presence of large amounts of water
It is estimated that apart from the oceans of the Earth, three moons of Jupiter (Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) and two moons of Saturn (Enceladus and Titan) are estimated to have underwater seas. Europa's ocean is estimated to have twice the amount of water than the amount found on Earth.
Cosmic microwave background radiation
This radiation is present in the entire universe after the Big Bang. It is a slow microwave radiation, which provides a glimpse of the early universe just 3,80,000 years after the Big Bang.
Triton's -391°F Temperature
Triton, Neptune's moon, is the coldest known body in the solar system, with an average surface temperature of -391°F.
