Tony Ford: An Astronomic Lifetime Beyond the Stars
The Wirral Peninsula has been home to Tony Ford for nearly a century. While his heart belonged to the Wirral, his imagination soared amongst the stars. Today, he shares some captivating tales and intriguing space facts.
Stellar Fascinations: Space Wonders
- A cloud in space is filled with enough alcohol to fill trillions of beer bottles. Space party, anyone?
- ‘Dark matter’ in space is invisible! We know it’s there because it pushes things around but remains a mystery.
- Neutron stars, remnants of exploded stars, are super heavy. A piece the size of a sugar cube can weigh as much as a mountain!
- Venus is the odd one in our solar system. Unlike Earth, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east there.
- There’s a distant star, BPM 37093, that’s a massive diamond. Who knew space had such bling?
The universe is filled with wonder, and so is our very own Wirral. Keep exploring, keep dreaming!
