Let's be honest with ourselves, at least in such petty matters as space exploration. We know practically nothing about him - and this is true. All the studies carried out concern only a tiny fraction of what can actually happen, and not even in a distant, distant galaxy, but right on the threshold of the solar system.
As examples of the amazing, frightening infinity of the surrounding (our planet) world, we have collected some of the strangest things scientists have found so far.
Planet from hell
Her name, at the moment - Gliese581C Forest04Gliese 581. Her sun is half ours. And closer to the planet at four. The unique situation has led to the fact that our potential new homeland (and it really is, due to the proximity of 581 to Earth) maintains a terrible balance in space. One side is constantly turned to the star: here the surface literally boils.
There is a chance that the hellish planet will become a new home for humanity.
But on the other, the eternal arctic cold reigns. But, hypothetically, in the midst of these extremes there is a habitable belt, where inhuman scientists are going to equip the expedition. Science requires sacrifice, really.

Space strawberry with rum
In the past few years, many of Earth's astronomers have focused on a cosmic cloud near the center of the Milky Way. If God really exists, then he will not be denied a sense of humor: this education smells like strawberries and tastes like rum.
Fifteen people on one ship, yo-ho-ho and the planet of rum!
Sagittarius B2 consists of hydrogen, ethyl alcohol, formaldehyde, formic acid and ethylene glycol - the appearance of data on this gave astronomers the basis for such a bold assumption about the taste and smell of the cloud.
Boiling ice planet
In the same system (as if the creator put all the hellish surprises in one basket for a joke), another crazy planet is spinning. Gliese 436 b is similar to Hoth from Star Wars with one minor exception: she is constantly on fire.
Burning ice in the volumes of the planet: welcome to a new reality.
But water molecules cannot evaporate even at such a monstrous temperature, because gravity is so great here that it constantly attracts water molecules to the center of the planet. All together looks like real madness.
All the water of the universe
Just twelve billion light-years away, lies the largest reservoir of water in the universe. At least in the known part of it.
At the center of the black hole is the dream of every surfer on earth.
The most interesting thing is that this super-reservoir is located right in the center of the black hole, which, in turn, is the "eye of the storm" of the quasar. It contains 140,000,000,000,000 more water than all of the world's oceans. A surfer's dream!
Diamond planet
This is more like a duck from the weekly morning show: astronomers have found a planet made of diamonds! It turned out to be its owner (here you need to put the name of an objectionable politician)! But such a planet actually exists: Cancri 55 e is one-third covered with real diamonds.
The planet of the greedy rich, not otherwise.
The content of graphite in its soil is so high that, according to scientists, in the next three hundred years it will completely transform into one huge gem.
