Did you know black holes burp after eating stars?
Or that astronauts drink water made from recycled pee?
Or that there's a planet where it rains molten iron?
These might sound totally made up, but they're all true.
Inside *Black Holes Burp After Eating Stars*, you'll discover 351 weird, wild, and completely true facts about the strangest things in the universe.
Get ready to discover:
- A black hole at the center of our galaxy that's over 4 million times bigger than the Sun - Why astronauts can lose their fingernails after months in space - Planets covered in diamonds, glass storms, and deadly oceans - Moons with giant exploding ice geysers - Mind-bending mysteries about time, space, and how the universe began
There's even a $100,000 tool bag accidentally dropped by astronauts that's still orbiting Earth right now-and you can spot it with a pair of binoculars.
Perfect for curious kids who love space, weird facts, and asking big questions.
But space isn't just about stars and planets. It's a place filled with strange discoveries, enormous explosions, mysterious objects, extreme temperatures, and unbelievable events happening billions of miles from Earth.
What happens when a star gets too close to a black hole? How can a distant planet have rain made of molten iron? Why do some moons shoot enormous geysers into space? And how can astronauts survive in an environment where even everyday things work completely differently?
Inside these pages, young explorers can discover fascinating facts about black holes, stars, planets, moons, astronauts, galaxies, space travel, and the mysterious forces that shape our universe.
Some facts are funny. Some are surprising. Some are downright bizarre. And many sound so strange that you might think someone made them up. But these incredible discoveries come from the real universe around us.
Explore worlds where the weather can be more extreme than anything found on Earth. Meet cosmic objects so massive and powerful that they are difficult to imagine. Discover strange things that happen to the human body in space, and learn about the remarkable ways astronauts and scientists deal with life beyond our planet.
