thinking about or looking at images of deep space one can't help but at least understand this fear if not feel the terror completely with its incomprehensible vastness the uncertainty of what lurks within it the mystery of its phenomena and the Monstrous nature of its objects it isn't clear what is more unsettling about space what we don't know what we do know or the massive voids of nothingness separating it all the fear of space and celestial objects is known as astrophobia cosmophobia or space phobia what often makes something fear-provoking is the quality of being unknown of

course the universe is almost entirely unknown relatively speaking but what's somewhat unique about space is that what we do know is often equally terrifying the more we learn about the cosmos often does not make what was previously unknown less disquieting but rather more with Newfound knowledge we continually discover that out there surrounding us are conditions that would make our worst nightmares feel like safe havens consider just planets when we think of space planets often feel like bases of Solace amidst the chaos and nothingness in some cases this is true but in most cases it couldn't

be further from the truth many planets are not only completely uninhabitable but they are also unfathomably strange and horrifying they are not the soft plush cute objects of our baby mobiles no hanging above our cribs were mostly gaseous beasts so inhospitable so absurd so other it would make a baby's head explode figuratively and literally take a planet in our own Solar System Jupiter Jupiter is a gas giant 11 times wider than Earth for reference imagine a grape next to a basketball in terms of volume Jupiter could fit 1,300 Earths inside it it is so big

and hostile that if Earth ever found itself in Jupiter's orbit it would become destroyed by the effects of its gravitational force if Earth somehow collided with Jupiter it would be absorbed by Jupiter's atmosphere burned up and coess into its gas clouds and liquid metallic like a drip of food coloring being dropped into the ocean completely absorbed and wiped from existence with even the most impressive and impermeable theoretical iCal technology to try to navigate this planet would be a nightmarish journey through miles deep rapid swirling gas clouds with wind speeds hundreds of miles hour each mile

further getting darker and darker as the sunlight becomes increasingly shrouded by the clouds until you finally hit the outer mantle of the planet and submerge into a planet wide ocean of glowing white hot liquid metallic hydrogen since there isn't even a true surface on Jupiter there is nowhere else to go or stand that's just in our solar system prior to the year 1992 Humanity didn't even know for sure if there were other planets outside our solar system there are known as exoplanets it's now estimated that there are around 200 billion planets in our galaxy alone

it's also estimated that there are possibly as many as 2 trillion galaxies in the known universe that makes for an estimated 20 to 100 quintilian planets amongst these there are innumerable earthlike planets there are also innumerable hellscape likee planets planets that would embarrass the planets of our solar system the planet known as hd189733b located in the constellation of opula around 64.5 Lighty years away from our solar system appears to be a beautiful bright blue earthlike planet with soft Oceanic swirls forming marble-like patterns that look like a refreshing work of Van go on it however are

conditions so gruesome merciless and strange it sounds like the setting of a cosmic horror fiction story written by the most Disturbed individual on hd189733b temperatures can exceed 2000° F its winds reach up to 5,400 mph 7 times the speed of sound which are the fastest winds ever discovered in the universe and its constant wind whips rainstorms of molten glass shards sideways across the planet visiting this planet would result in being caught in a fiery Cosmic tornado made up of chunks of of glass that shred you apart with near infinite Cuts this is just planets Stars

beautiful twinkling little orbs of light found in the favorite nursery rhymes of children are unfathomably more massive and powerful than nearly all planets Jupiter is roughly 11 times wider than Earth our sun is roughly 10 times wider than Jupiter and our sun is an average star at best one of the largest known Stars a red super giant named W g64 has an estimated radius of over 1,540 times that of our sun if the star was placed at the center of our solar system it would take up the entire orbits of Mercury Venus Earth Mars and

Jupiter more than a million Earths could fit in our sun several billions of our sun could fit in W g64 that's quadrillions of earths this star is like a universe in its own right just just made of hot luminous Gas and energy thousands of deges f a true hell twinkle twinkle when massive stars like woh g64 die they form even stranger larger more powerful and ominous entities perhaps the most unfathomable and unsettling entities in the known universe after star exhausts its Fuel and the equilibrium of its radiation and gravity becomes disrupted its core collapses and

in a fraction of a second it implodes on itself resulting in a supernova explosion if the star is large enough left behind is a black hole a region of SpaceTime where gravity is so strong nothing can escape it inside at the center of a black hole is what is known as a singularity which is a point that is infinitely dense and infinitely small and all conceptions of time and space break down why does the collapsing of a star do this how can there be an apparent Singularity or infinitely dense and infinitely small thing in the

Universe what happens at the singularity or Beyond The Singularity does the singularity even really exist we don't know the answers to any of these questions but what we do know is that these Galactic Giants can grow to sizes so incomprehensible that they make even the largest Stars seem average one of if not the largest known black hole in the observable universe is ton 618 this black hole is at least 240 billion mil in diameter and likely much bigger since it is is still and continually growing that's roughly 11 solar systems side by side galaxies worth

of matter are consumed by this Beast as it shines with the brightness of 100 trillion Stars what could possibly be bigger than that surely nothing well that's exactly right the inconceivably massive void separating everything the cold Barren Space Between galaxies and superclusters of galaxies make even ton 618 look modest in general Intergalactic space or the space between galaxies makes up most of the volume of the universe what are known as super voids are specific regions where there are particularly massive spans of empty space with far fewer galaxies and objects compared to all other regions of

the universe one obscenely terrifying super void is known as boa's void or the great nothing Bo's void has a diameter of around 330 million light years the black hole ton 618 has a diameter of around 004 Lighty years that makes boot's void roughly 8.25 billion times bigger than one of the largest black holes in the universe that's 330 million of mostly uninterrupted light years of primarily cold dead dark space the mere thought of this vast emptiness can paradoxically elicit an intense feeling of constriction and claustrophobia what could possibly be worse than this well it gets

worse perhaps the most unsettling fact and phenomenon of the universe is that boot's void and all voids and the universe in general are expanding everything is spreading out everything in space including us is constantly moving hurdling at speeds we can't even fathom right now we are not simply rotating around our planetary axis and revolving around the Sun but our galaxy and the group of galaxies we are a part of known as the local group are moving through space at 1 Point 3 million mph as a result of the universal expansion toward disorder eventually nearby galaxies

will Aggregate and then be spread further and further apart from the rest of the universe in the distant future we will become so far apart from other galaxies and Galaxy clusters that they won't even be detectable or knowable anymore no matter what technology a species might have if Humanity or any consciously Advanced species exist in these new Galaxy formations it will appear as though the entire universe is only one's own Galaxy it will appear as though that's all the universe ever was is and could be one can only wonder what is out there right now

that we no longer have access to in the words of the renowned astronomer Edwin Hubble with increasing distance our knowledge Fades and Fades rapidly eventually we reach the dim boundary the utmost limits of our telescopes there we measure shadows and we search among ghostly errors of measurement for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial right now floating through the vast uncertainty of space alongside these Celestial monsters are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Interstellar space probes these space probes were launched by NASA in 1977 Voyager 1 is currently the farthest traveled man-made object in space on

both voyagers there is what is known as the golden records on these records are images music Earthly sounds spoken greetings as well as instructions and symbols for the record and its origin if everything else about space isn't unsettling enough consider the fate of these space probes the voyagers and other space probes will potentially continue to float aimlessly through space for billions of years if they do at some point in the distant future or even the not so distant future they will be all that's left of humanity of Earth the images and sounds and Technology contained

therein will no longer have a species to point point to even if rather in the theoretically seeming best of cases Humanity makes it the whole distance alongside these space probes figuratively speaking these space probes will still eventually dissolve away and so too will Humanity so too will everything though we can never be certain of how everything will go it would appear that the universe itself will reach its ultimate end all energy is limited everything is decaying the voids are growing and one final void will consume all things forever in the words of the author HP

Lovecraft the most merciful thing in the world I think is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents we live on a Placid island of ignorance in the midst of black Seas of infinity and it was not meant that we should Voyage far the Sciences each straining in its own Direction have hither to harmed us little but someday the piecing together of disassociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality and our frightful position therein that we shall either go mad from the Revelation or flee from the deadly light into the

peace and safety of a new Dark Age this passage was written by Lovecraft in 1928 around 100 years ago in some ways one could argue that those terrifying vistas of reality are now open for many of us the progression of humanity Sciences Technologies and awareness has revealed a vast terrifying an indifferent Universe of which we are inescapably a part of the fear of space is not totally irrational in many ways it is fully Justified but the best way to deal with certain fears sometimes is exposure exposure to the object of the phobia so that one

can see that although terrifying it is not as dangerous as it appears look up look at the unending space of burning balls of fire and planets of gas and molten liquid look at the unending expanding void here you are alive on a planet that doesn't swallow you up and rip you apart that doesn't send glass shards through your skin or burn you alive you are at a place in the cosmos positioned just right at just the right time that's just the right size for life to emerge to evolve and to create you to allow you

to know you exist to feel love happiness pleasure pain fear to be afraid is a kind of blessing from this planet you can watch as you rotate away from one of the most powerful phenomena in the cosmos you can watch the Sun as it sets and see and feel so much beauty that it can make your eyes welt up with Wonder and appreciation that object would kill you from a different distance but it gives you life from this distance rides are fun because they're scary and for whatever reason this ride is still going open your

eyes put your hands up scream if you have to and enjoy the fear while you can still feel [Music] it despite the enormous and ominous nature of space Humanity has and continues to square up against it last month space X's Starship test highlights both Humanity's huus and our unbelievable abilities to extend our reach more and more into the unknown with this video sponsor ground news I can follow and understand this Monumental event with simple curated access to all 170 articles covering the story which you can access as well using my link or by scanning the
