80 is nothing startling. -35 degrees Celsius is no big deal for Antarctica. Hell, it hits -40 Celsius a couple of times every winter in Ottawa and Montreal, Canada. In Alaska and northern Canada it hits -40 degrees Celsius every damn day for weeks and weeks at a time. I used to walk a mile to school regularly in -40 temperatures when I lived in Churchill, Manitoba. Walked to school on colder days than that, actually.

That must have been a misprint.

Here's 2 other facts that isn't on the list that I really like:

1.) No-one has ever seen a Giant Squid in the wild.
2.) The biggest Giant Squid that has ever washed ashore had a sucker radius of roughly 4 inches (if memory serves). Sucker scars have been found on Sperm Whales that are over 4 TIMES the diameter of this!

^^ they must mean tangential velocity^^

"67/ Around a million, billion neutrinos from the Sun will pass through your body while you read this sentence.

68/...and now they are already past the Moon."

I think this is an interesting detail regarding the unseen nature of our reality...

most of the things on that list sucked though. There were either "wow, look at all these big numbers!" (which couldn't even be put into scientific notation so that they made more sense than 'a million billion thousand bajillions...') or they were boring analogies of astronomical ratios using houshold items, or they were just repeats of earlier ones.

I think an interesting science fact is that coral is not a single living organism but a myriad of organisms living in close symbiosis. I fact, inside the cells of coral live single celled algea that collect energy from the sun to be used for the whole coral.

Or that organic proteins have been found on meteorites and comets and such...

>>> 97/ If every star in the Milky Way was a grain of salt they would fill an Olympic sized swimming pool.


This one amazed me most. Just one galaxy, soooo many stars... And the one star we really know something substantial about has over 50 planets and moons orbiting it.


Recent estimates put the total number of stars in the universe at: 70.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 stars
That is more than the total number of grains of sand in all the Earth's beaches and deserts. And that's only in the visible universe.

some are just opinions not facts... like:

The Earth is 4.56 billion years old...the same age as the Moon and the Sun.

there is no way to know for sure. there are too many theories.


Also the Moon was created after the earth. A Mars size object smashed into the earth, the debris disc that formed around the earth, later congealed into the Moon.
