The largest known asteroid is 965 km (600 mi) wide. Discovered by Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801, the dwarf planet Ceres was the first, and largest, object to be considered an asteroid. It is located in the Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and accounts for 33% of the entire belt’s mass.

If two pieces of the same type of metal touch in space they will permanently bond. This incredible fact is also known as “cold welding” and it happens because the atoms of two pieces of metal have no way of knowing they are separate. This doesn’t happen on Earth because of the air and water found between the pieces.

In 3.75 billion years, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide. Andromeda approaches the Milky Way, home to our solar system, at about 110 kilometers per second (68 mi/s), eventually forming a giant elliptical galaxy. Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies

Neutron stars can spin 600 times per second. Neutron stars are the densest and tiniest stars in the known universe and although they only have a radius of about 10 km (6 mi), they may have a mass of a few times that of the Sun. They can rotate up to 60 times per second after they are born from a core-collapse supernova star explosion and have been known to spin as fast as 600-712 times per second because of their physics.
