PROXIMA CENTAURI by ZHARIF SAFIAN
​​​​​​​-----
It would take us 4.2 light years to reach the nearest star to our solar system called Proxima Centauri which resides in the constellation of Centaurus. The red dwarf star is in a triple star system called Alpha Centauri that consists of Proxima Centauri, Alpha Centauri A & B.

Being in a trinary star system isn't the most captivating detail about the sun. What's even interesting is that there's an Exoplanet orbiting Proxima Centauri called Proxima Centauri B which resides in the goldilocks zone of the red-dwarf sun. Hence, the planet is capable of supporting liquid water or maybe even life.

SPAGHETTIFICATION by ZHARIF SAFIAN

Spaghettification is a phenomenon that happens once something enters a blackhole or wormhole's event horizon.

If you were to enter this wretched hole feet first, the massive difference of the gravitational pull called gravitational gradient between the blackhole's singularity and your head is going to stretch you out from head to toe and compresses you horizontally.

Too bad, you're not going to be able to enjoy your Ziggy Stardust's playlist because you'll definitely be reduced to atoms.
