How much data One Petabytes can store?
We all know 1 GB is the same as 1024 MB, but did you know that 1 petabyte (PB) is equivalent to 1024 terabytes (TB)?
To give an example of how big this is, a 1 PB hard drive could hold 13.3 years of HD-TV video.
A 50 PB hard drive could hold the entire written works of mankind, from the beginning of recorded history, in all languages.

Snakes can predict earthquakes.
Many animals are actually able to predict earthquakes to varying levels of success. Yet, snakes are the most reliable, sensing earthquakes from as far as 75 miles away (121 km).
What’s more impressive is that they can sense an earthquake as many as five days before it actually occurs!
When snakes sense an earthquake, they often leave their nests, even if the temperature is too cold.

What were the wisdom teeth used for?
Anthropologists believe wisdom teeth, or the third set of molars, were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor's early diet of coarse, rough food – like leaves, roots, nuts and meats – which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth.

During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill 50 bathtubs!
The average person produces roughly one ounce (30 ml) of saliva every hour.
That’s 24.3 ounces (720 ml) or one full wine bottle’s worth of saliva a day, which is an average of 69 gallons (263 liters) per year.
The average global life expectancy is about 72 years. This means that you produce an average of 4,968 gallons (18,936 liters) of saliva in your lifetime.
That’s enough to fill 50 bathtubs!

The smallest bone in your body is in your ear.
Known as the stapes bone, this tiny bone is, on average, 0.09 × 0.11 inches (3 × 2.5 mm) in size.
The stapes bone can be found in the middle ear of humans and many other animals.
It plays a vital role in transferring vibrations from sounds into the inner ear.

Our solar system is 4.57 billion years old.
Well, give or take 30 million years(ish). Accurately speaking, it is 4.571 billion years old.
Scientists estimate that in about 5 billion years, our Sun will expand becoming a Red Giant.
In about 7.5 billion years its expanding surface will swallow up and engulf the Earth.

Mr. Shah owned a saw. And Mr. Soares owned a seesaw.
Now Shah's saw sawed Soares' seesaw, before Soares saw Shah, which made Soares sore.
Had Soares seen Shah's saw, before Shah sawed Soares' seesaw, Shah's saw would not have sawed Soares' seesaw. 🤭

In total, there are 176 confirmed moons that orbit the planets in our solar system, with some of them being bigger than Mercury itself!

If a star passes too close to a black hole, it can't be torn apart.
For 20 years, a team of astronomers observed a star at the center of our galaxy orbiting a black hole.
The star has now got close enough to the black hole for “gravitational redshift” to occur which is where the star’s light loses energy as the black hole’s gravity intensified.

A light-year is the distance covered by light in a single year.
Light moves at the velocity of about 186,411 miles (300,000 km) a second.
So one light-year equates to roughly 5,903,026,326,255 miles!

The International Space Station is the largest manned object ever sent into space.
At 119 yards (109 meters) long, the International Space Station (ISS) sits roughly 250 miles (400 km) above the Earth and is the third-brightest object in the night sky.

Only 5% of the universe is visible from Earth.
68% of the universe is dark energy and 27% is dark matter. Both of these are invisible, even with a telescope, which means we are only able to see 5% of the universe.
