Pst! Let me teach you 10 facts that only the most dedicated astronomers know. Join the secret club, just by laying down on your couch and watching this video! Did you know that ice could be very hot and that water could cause fires? Those things only happen in space, and only we astronomers know about them! Get ready to have your mind blown as we take you on a journey through the wonders of space.

10) Ice can be hot too!
Gliese 436b is a unique exoplanet that has hot ice, which is a form of water that remains solid even at high temperatures due to the extreme pressure on the planet's surface.

9) Next North star will be Vega
The North Star, also known as Polaris, is currently the brightest star in the constellation Ursa Minor, and has been used by sailors and navigators for centuries to help them navigate the seas.

8) Trash isn’t only on Earth
Space trash, also known as space debris or orbital debris, refers to the man-made objects that orbit the Earth and no longer serve any useful purpose

7)Looking at stars means looking at the past
What many people may not realize is that stargazing is actually a way of looking into the past.

6)Earth’s rotation is slowing down
The Earth's rotation on its axis is gradually slowing down, meaning that the length of a day is getting longer over time.

5)Large portions of the Milky Way galaxy are drifting away from us
Recent research has shown that the Milky Way galaxy is losing some of its mass due to a process known as tidal stripping.

4)Space is not silent
Contrary to popular belief, space is not completely silent.

3)You can actually start a fire in space: all you need is water
It might seem counterintuitive, but water can actually start fires in space.

2)There’s a diamond the size of Earth in our Galaxy
BPM 37093, also known as the "diamond star," is a white dwarf star located in the constellation Centaurus, approximately 50 light years from Earth.

1) Supernovae create gold and platinum.
Supernovae are among the most dramatic events in the universe, representing the explosive death of massive stars
