8 strange but real space phenomena, in NASA pics

Space is full of mysteries and wonders.

Here are 7 strange but real phenomena that exist in our universe.

Dark matter makes up about 27% of the universe, yet we can't see it. It doesn’t emit light, but we know it's there because of its effect on galaxies.

Rogue planets are not tied to any star and drift freely through space. They can be lonely wanderers, far away from any solar system.

Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars that emit beams of radiation. As they spin, they look like cosmic lighthouses, flashing across the universe.

Neutron stars are incredibly dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in supernovae.

Quasars are incredibly bright objects powered by supermassive black holes. They are some of the most distant and luminous objects we can observe.

Magnetars are a type of neutron star with an extremely strong magnetic field. Their powerful bursts of energy can be detected across vast distances.

Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape.
