There are more stars in the observable universe than grains of sand on Earth. Astronomers estimate there are around 10^22 stars we could, in principle, observe. This is Space Fact 2 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. That number is so huge because galaxies each contain billions of stars, and there are billions of galaxies. Big numbers like this help scientists estimate how common planets might be.

A tiny star has a whole family of Earth sized rocky planets. That system is called TRAPPIST 1. This is Space Fact 4 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. TRAPPIST 1 is a cool red dwarf star with seven known rocky planets, and a few orbit in the habitable zone where liquid water could exist. Scientists study this system to learn how common Earth sized planets might be.

A real car is orbiting the Sun right now. It was launched on a rocket as a test payload. This is Space Fact 5 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. In 2018, a Tesla Roadster was launched on Falcon Heavy’s first test flight with a mannequin called Starman in the driver’s seat. After launch, it ended up in a solar orbit, like a tiny spacecraft.

Mars has the tallest volcano in our solar system. Olympus Mons is about three times taller than Mount Everest. This is Space Fact 6 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. Olympus Mons is roughly 22 kilometers tall, and its base is so wide it would take a long drive to cross. Mars has lower gravity, which helps volcanoes grow taller than similar ones on Earth.

Saturn is so light for its size that it is less dense than water. In a giant enough bathtub, Saturn would float. This is Space Fact 7 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. Saturn is mostly hydrogen and helium, which is why its average density is low even though it is huge. Its famous rings are made mostly of ice and rock pieces orbiting the planet.

A visitor from another star system passed through our solar system. 3I ATLAS was only the third interstellar object identified. This is Space Fact 8 with XF7 Space. Quick space lessons for families in under 60 seconds. It followed a hyperbolic path, meaning it was not bound to the Sun and it will not stay here. As it warmed near the Sun, it showed comet like activity such as gas and dust releasing.
