Hi guys, it's good to see you again. I have been struggling on what to write about, and it hits me that I can write about some shocking facts that would appear awesome if you think about it. Okay, let's start with the most interesting fact that I picked up among the other ones: the Moon is actually drifting away from Earth!!!
I hope you liked these articles.
Good luck,
Phuong Chi
SHOCK !!
Bye, our companion! The Moon goes far away from Earth about 2.38 cm every year, and the Earth slows the rotation about 0.002 seconds every century. That is quite sad, actually.
Anyway, if a friend ever challenges you to move 19000 km per minute, tell him/her: "I can do it and I am doing now. You are, too!" This is all because of the Earth's rotation and motion, so it is not quite surprising. But... try and think about it!!! I mean, it is splendid that you can travel 19000 km per minute, and it is a Guiness record!!!
On Earth, the liquid is usually dropping downwards. But, in the outer space, it will quickly form a sphere shape! It is surface tension, the same phenomenon that causes water to form as a horizontal surface on Earth, that causes liquids to form spheres in space. That is cool, huh? Surely if we were in the outer space, we would not have to try and do those sphere-shaped drops of water, because the space will do it itself for us.
