Here's another planetary fact that is pretty amazing: Saturn is less dense than water.
So, if you had an ocean large enough and could somehow put Saturn on it, the planet would float. <--- wtf?

Further facts on the universe: it is 46B light years large but only 19B years old. This means that we will never be able to see the light from the oldest parts of the Universe. In a few billion years, no light from any new stars will be able to reach us, the sky will be static for a while, then eventually the stars will go out one by one to our viewpoint, even though they will still be there they’ll be moving away from us faster than the speed of their light. We are living in the only time period where we can see stars being born and see stars at all for that matter.

Jupiter & Saturn facts: they turn at the same speed ( 13, 10 km/sec.) as the move forward. which means with respect to the sun, their equator at noon is always at a near standstill. strange ? not at all:
The wheels on your car stands still on the ground in your driveway, and again at your destination , right? You can see the tire marks in the snow, mud.!. but the tires stand still on the ground all the way, Check the tire pattern on the road!
because like Jupiter , Saturn, your wheels turn backward, at the same rate as your car moves forward.

The bite force of crocodiles is amazing.
Crocs and alligators need a strong bite to drag prey animals into the water and drown them, without the victim struggling free.
The bite force of a 4.7 m saltwater croc (Crocodylus porosus) is tested in this video. Pretty amazing, I gotta say.

All of your genetic code is contained within the nucleus of each cell, with plenty of extra space. Yet, if you could unravel all of the chromosomes and place them end-to-end, it would be as long as your outstretched arms.

In 2018, astronomers found a big, hot, desert-like planet orbiting the star 40 Eridani A (about 16 light-years away)...
...right where - decades ago - official Star Trek writers canonically placed the fictional planet "Vulcan".
Love long and prosper, dudes.
