Outer Space can be considered an absolute horror show of unending blackness extraordinarily hostile to life. There are simply a lot of weird things about space. Of all the creepy things about space and the universe, here are some of the most unsettling.
1. Chunks Of The Milky Way Galaxy Are Being Sucked Away
Something unidentified, LARGER than anything in the known universe, is sucking portions of the Milky Way galaxy , AKA our home, away. In 2009, researchers found a cluster of galaxies moving at an extraordinary speed towards a small patch of sky between the constellations of Centaurus and Vela.
2. The Night Sky Will Someday Be Completely Black
As the Milky Way Galaxy continues to merge with its neighboring galaxies, the view of the night sky from Earth will change dramatically. The speedy expansion will eventually pull the galaxies apart faster than the speed of light, eliminating the distinctive products of the big bang and nullifying points of reference for expansion measurement.
3. Meteors Can Strike Earth With No Warning
In 2013, a meteorite exploded over the Russian region of Chelyabinsk. About 400 people were injured, with most injuries caused by broken glass resulting from the explosion. Conflicting reports hypothesized that the missile was either a part of a meteor shower or a single meteorite.
4. A Giant Black Hole Hurls Through Space At Five Million Miles Per Hour
The Hubble Space Telescope located a black hole in 2017 that is being manipulated by gravitational waves. The black hole - capable of devouring anything in its path - will eventually break free its own galaxy and begin to roam the universe.
5. Gamma - Ray Burst Can Destroy Planets
Gamma-Ray burst, giant explosions in distant galaxies that send out waves of gamma rays, are capable of destroying entire planets if their properties are pointed directly at the planet in question. Despite such a horrifying scenario, Earth is relatively safe.
