10 BIZARRE Objects Floating in Space Right Now!

 

space is so huge that only four percent  of it is filled  these could include planets galaxies and  black holes just to name a few things  well there are a few bizarre things  floating around in the darkest recesses  of space that may come as a shot  in today's article we'll share with you 10  of these strange  objects but before we do don't forget to  hit the subscribe button and ring the  notification bell  that way you'll never miss a future  article  number 10 the man who discovered pluto  space burials aren't really a new  phenomenon but one that many may find  strange  it's the idea of firing your remains  into the cosmos so that they can be one  with the universe  it was started by star trek creator gene  roddenberry who had some of his ashes  brought on board the columbia which  spread them into space  another person whose ashes were launched  into space were those of clyde tombaugh  tombaugh was the american astronomer who  was famous for discovering pluto in  1930.  his ashes were taken into space by the  new horizons spacecraft that was  launched in 2006  and is still exploring the deepest  reaches of space right now  the hope is that one day clyde's ashes  will leave our solar system with the  vessel  number nine liter upon liter of urine  just like every one of us astronauts  have bodily functions such as peen  but once they're done where does all  that urine go well until recently they  would simply throw it overboard and let  space deal with it  as soon as the urine is thrown out of  the shuttle it instantly freezes into  millions of tiny crystals which then  float around space  something that astronauts have even  described as beautiful  although millions of urine crystals  still roam space  a urine recycle system that turns it  into drinkable water  is now installed on the international  space station as well as the shuttles  number eight elon musk's car  this is one of the newest additions to  the collection of random objects found  in space  on february 6 2008 spacex launched its  falcon heavy rocket with  elon musk's tesla roadster car traveling  on board  the vehicle was then shot into space  while attached to the upper stage of the  rocket  the cherry red tesla aptly named starman  did its first successful orbit of the  sun  last year researchers have shared their  concerns that the car would have carried  bacteria up into space which could one  day land on mars or another planet which  could contaminate any biological life  there    number seven lots of dead animals  laiika the dog various monkeys and  hector the rat are just some of the  animals that have been launched into  space throughout the years  in the majority of the cases many of  these animals died up there and drifted  aimlessly for days  months and sometimes years before  falling out of orbit  and burning up in the earth's atmosphere  other types of animals that have been  sent into space  many of which are still up there now  include newts guinea pigs  jellyfish fruit flies spiders and  japanese killifish  most worryingly there is a conspiracy  theory that suggests that soviet  astronauts entered space  way before yuri gagarin did who died and  were left to float for eternity  since the dissolution of the soviet  union in the early 1990s no substantial  evidence has  ever been put forward to prove this  theory but  nothing has disproved it either number 6  nikku because of the incredible size of  space sometimes scientists discover  something they  simply cannot explain usually however  they exist hundreds or thousands of  light years away and come in the form of  huge natural phenomena  well one thing that's seemingly on our  doorstep is an  object called nikku that is floating on  the edge of our solar system  a defining feature of nikku is its  retrograde  orbit a particular quark which means it  moves in the opposite direction to  everything else in the solar system  it exists somewhere just beyond the  orbit of neptune and is joined by five  other objects with  similar characteristics which all orbit  in the same plane  stranger still research has suggested  that they may have existed in these  orbits for millions of years  meaning that whatever force is at play  has been around for a long time  if you enjoy reading articles on  interesting or bizarre topics why not  hit the subscribe button

well if you're thinking around 400  meters you would be wrong  that's because russian cosmonaut mikhail  turin hit a 3 gram golf ball using a  gold-plated 6-iron club  back in 2006 while connected to the  outside of the international space  station  despite not being the cleanest of shots  while taken on a makeshift tee box  the ball traveled around one million  miles before deorbiting  and burning up in the earth's atmosphere  number four  480 million tiny copper needles  the next entry on our list is a remnant  of the cold war  with the u.s fearing that they were  falling behind the soviet union when it  came to communication technology in may  1963 the american military sent up 480  million  tiny copper needles in order to create  an artificial ionosphere  the project was called project west ford  and was intended to be the prototype for  two more  permanent copper needle rings that would  ensure the u.s would always be able to  use space as a means of communicating  around the globe  incredibly the donut shaped cloud of  needles measured 20 miles wide when it  was first launched  although most of the needles are now  gone many of them remain in space  number three lots of water  so now you've heard about the dead  animals in a cherry red car floating  through space  it might be hard to imagine anything  stranger out there  well in 2011 two teams of astronomers  came across  the largest reservoir of water ever  detected in the universe  it was roughly equivalent to 140  trillion times the water found on earth  and is surrounded by a ginormous black  hole that's more than 12 billion light  years away  the black hole itself which is known as  a quasar is 20 billion times the size of  the sun  and produces as much energy as a  thousand trillion  suns in short it is a beast of the  cosmos  number two an unknown 60-foot long  object  circling the earth and spiraling once a  minute is a 60-foot long  thin human-made object which no one can  identify for certain  it was first spotted in september 2009  by an amateur astronomer while it was  making its way through the pisces  constellation and became known  as j002e3 it was initially believed to  be a tiny asteroid but was later proven  to have been built by humans  the leading theory is that it is the  long-lost third stage of the apollo 12  rocket that went to the moon in 1969  number one a tool bag with grease guns  worth over eight hundred thousand  dollars  we've all misplaced something that we've  never found again well  imagine losing an entire tool bag in  space  this was done by astronaut heidi  steffensen piper while doing a spacewalk  in november 2008  heidi slipped and lost her grip on the  two and a half stone bag which floated  away into the darkness carrying over  eight hundred thousand dollars of  specialist tools  this included a scraper tool containers  and grease guns  some amateur astronomers have claimed to  have spotted it in the years since with  many inquiring about the whereabouts of  the expensive bag  there are some strange things found on  earth but as you've seen there are some  even stranger things floating above our  heads  right now out of all the objects you  heard about in this article  which one do you think's the most  bizarre we'd love to know in the  comments section below  if you enjoyed this article please give it  a thumbs up
