Did You Know Fact#38
Did You Know?
The planets in our solar system orbit around the sun. One orbit of the Earth takes one year. Meanwhile, our entire solar system – our sun with its family of planets, moon, asteroid and comets – orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Our sun and solar system move at about about 500,000 miles an hour (800,000 km/hr) in this huge orbit. So in 90 seconds, for example, we all move some 12,500 miles (20,000 km) in orbit around the galaxy's center.
Our Milky Way galaxy is a big place. Even at this blazing speed, it takes the sun approximately 230 million years to complete one journey around the galaxy's center.
This amount of time – the time it takes us to orbit the center of the galaxy – is sometimes called a cosmic year.

It would take less than 6 months to get to the Moon by car at 60mph (95km/h).
Astronomer Fred Hoyle was the first to point out that if you could drive a car upwards at 95km/h (60mph), it would only take about an hour to get into space.
To get to the Moon would take a little longer though, since it's 400,000km (250,000 miles) away – around 10 times the circumference of the Earth. So it would take as long as driving around the world 10 times – just under six months.
Your only real problem (apart from the lack of air for your lungs and for burning the petrol) would be finding a garage to refuel – and that has a loo! :)

More people die from falling coconuts than from shark attacks.
Coconuts falling from their tree and striking individuals cause serious injury to the back, neck, shoulders and head. They can potentially be fatal.
Concern about the risk of fatality due to gravity's pull on coconuts led local officials in Queensland, Australia to remove coconut trees from beaches in 2002. One newspaper dubbed coconuts "the killer fruit." Historical reports of actual death by coconut nonetheless date back to the 1770s. Coconuts also played a lethal role in the South Pacific during World War II. According to published accounts, Japanese forces weaponized the tropical fruit by turning them into "coconut bombs" filled with acid and a hand grenade.

>Dark Energy<
Humans can only see about 4% of the matter in the Universe. All the stars, planets and galaxies that can be seen today make up just 4 percent of the universe. The other 96 percent is made of stuff astronomers can't see, detect or even comprehend.
These mysterious substances are called dark energy and dark matter. Astronomers infer their existence based on their gravitational influence on what little bits of the universe can be seen, but dark matter and energy themselves continue to elude all detection.

A baby can not taste salt until they are 4 months old. The delay may be related to the development of kidneys, which start to process sodium at about that age. Within a few days of birth, a baby can distinguish between the touch of bristles that are of different diameters.

You take over approximately 23,000 breaths every day.There are certain things we need to do every single day. Some of those things we think about, such as eating and drinking. In fact, if you're hungry, you might be thinking about your next meal right now!
Some of the things we do every day we don't think about at all, though. For example, when's the last time you thought about breathing? Unless you just ran a race or have a bad cold, you probably take breathing for granted and don't give it a second thought. Isn't it interesting how something so critical to life goes on without you even thinking about it?
