DID YOU KNOW THAT...

If all the DNA in our body were laid out end to end, it would stretch to twice the diameter of the Solar System?

Water was delivered to Earth by asteroids?

Nothing can land on Jupiter because it’s a gas planet, with no solid surface?

Without the invention of large-scale fertilisers, there wouldn’t be enough food to support the population growth of the past 100 years?
