Earth quietly picks up tiny second moons from time to time, small asteroids briefly caught by our gravity before they wander off again, which means our planet has carried far more moons than the single one most people ever notice.
Stargazing Wonders: A Complete Guide to the Most Spectacular Astronomical Events Happening Throughout the Year
Light takes about 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the Earth, but the energy carried in that sunlight was generated in the sun’s core tens to hundreds of thousands of years ago — bouncing through the sun’s interior for that entire time before finally escaping its surface and making the 8-minute trip across space

The popular claim that space tastes like raspberries and smells like rum, repeated in science articles for over fifteen years, is based on a single 2009 detection of one organic molecule in one specific dust cloud at the centre of the Milky Way, and the actual story behind the finding is more interesting than the version that has been circulating
