A teaspoon of neutron star material weighs 6 billion tons that is more than Mount Everest. Formed after a supernova, neutron stars pack matter 100 trillion times denser than water, making them one of the densest objects in the universe, second only to black holes.

Though it's not the hottest planet, Mercury is the one nearest to the sun. Its temperature fluctuates greatly because it lacks an atmosphere to control it. Mercury has a maximum temperature of 427°C during the day and a minimum temperature of -173°C at night.

Only planet in our solar system that rotates anticlockwise is Uranus. It spins more like a rolling ball than a spinning top because of its 98 degree axial tilt. This results in severe seasons, with each pole facing the sun for 42 years and then experiencing 42 years of darkness.

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are classified as short or long bursts based on their duration. Long bursts are associated with the collapse of massive stars, while short bursts are likely due to neutron star mergers.
