"sun"

In the Milky Way, the closest stars to the Sun are 4.22 light years away

Recently, a new study suggests that the darkening of Sensual IV may not have been simply a dust cloud, as it is suspected to have been pierced by a mysterious force before the darkening of Sensual IV

An in-depth analysis of the light from these quasars using the Hubble telescope has shown that the Andromeda galaxy's "halo" has two nested gas shells, with the "inner shell" extending outward by about 500,000 light-years and the "outer shell" extending by up to 2 million light-years

The sun, which we call the 'source of all things', has been sending light and heat to the earth for the past 4.6 billion years, which is why the earth is such a vibrant planet.What exactly does the sun use as fuel and how has it been able to burn for 4.6 billion years without going out?

In our universe, whether as large as a galaxy or as small as an electron, we are always in motion, and even when we think we are sitting motionless in our chairs, the earth is carrying us around the sun at a speed of about 30 kilometres per second, and the sun is also in motion, in fact it is carrying the entire solar system around the centre of the milky way, and at a speed of about 220 kilometres per second.

The solar system is located in a region with a stellar density of only 72 million parts per million of the highest stellar density region in the Milky Way, which is a remote and inhospitable part of the galaxy.

Because Mercury does not have an atmosphere to play a role in insulation, so the temperature of the back side of Mercury can be as low as minus 172 degrees Celsius, and because of the proximity of the sun, the temperature of the sunny side of Mercury will soar to 432 degrees Celsius under the baking of the sun, so it can be seen that Mercury is simply a realistic version of the "world of ice and fire"

According to astronomers, Barnard's star is approaching the Sun at a rate of about 107 kilometers per second, and on this trend, it will arrive at a distance of 3.85 light-years from the Sun in 11800 AD, replacing Proxima as the closest star to the Sun

The energy released by the sun's nuclear fusion reaction, in addition to making the sun shine and heat, there is an important role, that is, to resist its own gravity

Below the solar system, there is a star system labeled "alpha Centauri".
