Space

Space contains stars, meteors, planets, solar systems, galaxies, black holes, dark matter, and much, much more. Our solar system's center is the sun. The sun has a diameter of 1, 392, 000 (one million, three hundred ninety two thousand) km, or kilometers. It's surface temperature is 6,000 degrees Celsius. There are nine planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (Here I will count Pluto as a planet. It is disputed whether it is a planet or not.
Stars: The earth's sky contains about 6,000 stars visible to the naked eye. Near or in towns and cities the glow of electric lights drowns out the stars, so not as many are visible.
In space there are also nebula. When you research pictures of nebula, they are amazing. The colors and hues and clouds create an amazing picture. And this is only a fraction of what is out in space! Sometimes I imagine what other things there are that we cannot see yet. For example, how exactly do black holes work, what phenomena happen near them, and what other black holes are there and how huge are they?
I wonder what it would be like to go farther in space, on space-craft that could take us past stars and suns. Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take a long time to get places. Can anyone even travel the speed of light?
