No red dwarf has ever had time to die

The smaller a star, the more slowly it burns its fuel. The lightest red dwarfs could shine for trillions of years, hundreds of times the Universe's current age of 13.8 billion years. So not a single one has reached the end of its life yet. Every red dwarf ever born is still shining.

The water in your glass is older than the Sun

A large share of Earth's water molecules formed in the interstellar cloud that existed before the Sun was even born, more than 4.6 billion years ago. You are literally drinking a cosmic fossil.

On Mars, sunsets are blue

By day, the Martian sky looks butterscotch because of fine dust hanging in the air. But at dusk, those same grains scatter blue light forward, creating a bluish glow around the Sun. Rovers have photographed these blue sunsets: the exact reverse of what we see on Earth.
