One fact I found really interesting that the kids told me last year was that it rains diamonds on Jupiter.
My favorite space fact is that there is no sound in space because molecules are too far apart to transmit sound.
I find the fact that space is completely silent very interesting
Olympus Mons is the largest volcano in the solar system.
moon rock of huge value economically as well as scientifically was given by U.S.A to Ireland and the natural history museum but got thrown out by accident and still sits in a Dublin dump somewhere.
John and a space fact that interests me is how it would take nine years to walk to the moon.

I will be teaching first class next year. My favourite fact about space is that an asteroid, about the size of a car, enters Earth’s atmosphere roughly once a year – but it burns up before it reaches us!
There’s about 2000 satellites orbiting earth currently and roughly 3000 dead ones littering space.
My fun fact is that the Perseids meteor shower will be happening this year during August and the best nights should be 12th & 13th, so I’m hoping for a few cloudless nights!

I just love the fact that the nearest star is 40 000 000 000 000km away!
I find it interesting that space is completely silent and I often ask kids what they imagine hearing if they were in space to start a lesson.
