Space is huge, and terrifying. Not just because we've barely scratched the surface of what lies beyond our blue green rock, but also because most of what we've discovered is beautiful beyond comprehension, and would kill us instantly and painfully. As if that's not enough, new horrific yet insanely cool things are being discovered and not understood daily. Here are 25 Of The Creepiest Things In The Known Universe to keep you up at night.

Some stars sing to themselves.
Diamond Icebergs that float upon an ocean of carbon.
Black holes move.
Sometimes the moons of various planets are just as interesting as the planets they orbit.

A giant cloud of Hydrogen Gas (Smith's Cloud) weighing as much as one million stars is headed towards our galaxy.
Zombie stars come back to life by stealing material from neighboring stars.
There's a giant hurricane like storm on Jupiter so big you could fit three Earths into it.
Even with all the stars and galaxies and New York City Street lights that our solar system contains, there are still pockets of extreme blackness.
There's a blue planet that rains molten glass because it's so close to it's sun that the temperature is nearly 2,000 degrees, because apparently every beautiful thing in space would kill you instantly.
Dark Matter makes up about 80% of the mass in the universe, and we can't see it.

Aliens may have started talking to us in 2016.

When we see "shooting stars", what we're actually seeing is a meteor burning up in Earth's atmosphere.
Dark Flow is not Dark Matter, it's somewhat more (sinister and) inexplicable.
