5 Facts About Dogs That You Didn't Know

Dogs have wet noses to enhance their sense of smell. The moisture helps to absorb more of the tiny particles we call odors.

Dogs have exceptional night vision compared to humans due to the high number of rods in their retinas.

Dogs have 300 bones in their body when they are born, but as they grow, some of these bones fuse together and they end up with only 206 bones as adults.

Dogs have better low-light vision than humans due to a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum at the back of their eyes.

Dogs have three eyelids. The third lid, called a nictitating membrane, keeps the eye lubricated when the dog is sleeping.

CW Leonis

CW Leonis, also known as IRC +10216, is a red giant star located in the constellation Leo.

It is classified as a carbon star, which means it has an abundance of carbon in its atmosphere compared to oxygen.

This gives it a distinctive reddish hue. CW Leonis is notable for its significant mass loss, which results in the formation of a large circumstellar envelope of gas and dust around it.

This star is also a variable star, exhibiting changes in brightness over time.

Did you know that Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide ?

The Milky Way and Andromeda are the two largest galaxies in the Local Group and they are currently on a collision course which is driven by their mutual gravitational attraction.

Galaxies are not stationary objects, but are instead in constant motion, orbiting around each other and moving through the vast expanse of space.

The gravitational forces between them pull them closer together over time. As the two galaxies approach, their gravitational fields will become stronger, accelerating the rate of their collision.

This collision will not be a catastrophic event, but rather a gradual process that will take hundreds of millions of years to complete.

The two galaxies will pass through each other, with stars and other objects from each galaxy interacting and merging with each other.

The resulting galaxy will be a giant elliptical galaxy, with a mass of hundreds of billions of stars.
