6 Astronomy Facts You Never Learned in School

Have you ever wondered if what you knew about space, or the planets is actually real? Not in the sense that you were lied to at school or in those science books we all had years ago. But rather that space is so wide and vast that we always learn something new about it. Sometimes what we learn now contradicts what we already know (see number 6 for that one).

However, there are a lot more things that have been discovered over the years that some of us have never even heard of: from bars in space to unimaginable phenomena like ice on fire, there are countless examples of facts about astronomy that will surprise even the most knowledgeable among us.

Here we have gathered some of the facts that we consider to be the most interesting and fascinating! Let us know if you knew any of them already or if any of them surprised you!
