NASA reveals 5 strange things that happen in outer space

It doesn't take an astronomer to know that space is a strange place. But how strange it can surprise us and make us feel a lot of astonishment.

Space is dominated by invisible electromagnetic forces that we do not usually feel. It is also filled with strange types of matter that we have never seen before on Earth.
And NASA published on its website a list of five things that happen almost exclusively in outer space.

1. Plasma

On Earth, matter is usually in the form of one of the following three states: solid, liquid, or gaseous.

But in space, 99.9% of matter is in a completely different form, which is plasma.

Composed of free ions and electrons, this material is in a supercharged state that exceeds the gas that is created when the material is heated to extreme temperatures or combined with a strong electric current.

1. Temperature extremes

The Earth experiences a wide range of temperatures. Records show that the maximum temperatures may reach about 57 degrees Celsius to -89 degrees Celsius.

1. Cosmic chemistry

Right now, the sun compresses hydrogen into helium in its core. The process of joining atoms together under great pressure and temperature, and forming new elements, is called fusion.

1. Magnetic explosions

Every day, the space around the Earth causes giant explosions. When the solar wind pushes the current of charged particles from the sun against the magnetic environment that surrounds and protects the Earth, the magnetosphere, they become entangled with the magnetic fields of the sun and Earth.

1. Supersonic shocks

On Earth, one easy way to transfer energy is to push something. This often happens through collisions, such as when winds cause trees to sway. But in outer space, particles can transfer energy without touching it. This strange transfer occurs in invisible structures known as shocks.
