What is the loneliest place on earth?

As you fly through the air at 39,000 feet over the far southern Pacific, you'll cross over Point Nemo: the most isolated place on Earth. There's nothing to see at Point Nemo—which is entirely the point. Surrounding this pinpoint of GPS coordinates is 9 million square miles of ocean, and nothing else.

What is the loneliest place in the universe?

Not a single scrap of matter – not even a hydrogen atom – within hundreds of millions of lightyears. Welcome to the loneliest place in the cosmos: the great cosmic voids.

Who is the loneliest person in the world?

Is there life at Point Nemo?

Actually, there are barely no living things around

Point Nemo is located inside the South Pacific Gyre, a rotating current that prevents nutrient-rich water from coastal areas from flowing deep into the ocean.

Is Point Nemo a island?

You can't actually see it. That's because 'Point' Nemo isn't actually a bit of land. It's an invisible spot in the vast Southern Ocean furthest from land, in any direction.

Is there gold in the ocean?

One study found there is only about one gram of gold for every 100 million metric tons of ocean water in the Atlantic and north Pacific. There is also (undissolved) gold in/on the seafloor. The ocean, however, is deep, meaning that gold deposits are a mile or two underwater.

What year is Point Nemo going to crash?

ISS will be crashed into the Pacific Ocean near Point Nemo in 2031 NASA says the International Space Station will stop operating at the end of 2030. After that, the space agency plans to crash the football field-sized craft into a remote part of the Pacific Ocean.

Is the ISS going to crash?

The International Space Station (ISS), like most things, wasn't meant to last forever. As the station ages, NASA reports that this decade in space will be its last. Sometime in 2031, the space agency plans to end the ISS's run by crashing it in the middle of the ocean.

How deep does the ocean go down?

The average ocean depth is 3.7 kilometers (2.3 miles).

The deepest part of the ocean is called the Challenger Deep and is located beneath the western Pacific Ocean in the southern end of the Mariana Trench, which runs several hundred kilometers southwest of the U.S. territorial island of Guam.

How many oceans are there?

Historically, there are four named oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic. However, most countries - including the United States - now recognize the Southern (Antarctic) as the fifth ocean. The Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian are the most commonly known. The Southern Ocean is the 'newest' named ocean.

Can you be born lonely?

New research suggests that it's not just the social situation you're in, but also the genes you're born with that affect your likelihood of feeling lonely. While environmental factors definitely play a bigger role, a new study of more than 10,000 people has shown that loneliness can be partly hereditary too.

What is the loneliest age group?

16-24 year olds are the loneliest age group according to new BBC Radio 4 survey.

What's the loneliest job in the world?

The “loneliest job in the world” is a reference to the presidency of the United States, supposedly a supremely lonely and isolating job because of the enormous responsibility that it entails.

What is the loneliest galaxy?

One remarkable example is the galaxy MCG+01-02-015, which is the only one around for some 100 million light-years in all directions. It's the loneliest galaxy in the known Universe, and we can scientifically predict its ultimate fate.

What is the coldest place in the universe?

How much of the universe is normal matter?

The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe.

Has anyone made it to the bottom of the ocean?

Only three people have ever done that, and one was a U.S. Navy submariner. In the Pacific Ocean, somewhere between Guam and the Philippines, lies the Marianas Trench, also known as the Mariana Trench. At 35,814 feet below sea level, its bottom is called the Challenger Deep — the deepest point known on Earth.

How far underwater can humans go?

The maximum depth reached by anyone in a single breath is 702 feet (213.9 metres) and this record was set in 2007 by Herbert Nitsch. He also holds the record for the deepest dive without oxygen – reaching a depth of 831 feet (253.2 metres) but he sustained a brain injury as he was ascending.

Has anyone been to the bottom of the Mariana Trench?

The first and only time humans descended into the Challenger Deep was more than 50 years ago. In 1960, Jacques Piccard and Navy Lt. Don Walsh reached this goal in a U.S. Navy submersible, a bathyscaphe called the Trieste.

Who owns the ISS?

The International Space Station (ISS) is a modular space station (habitable artificial satellite) in low Earth orbit. It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada).

What if the ISS falls?

Basically, the station would be carefully lowered through the atmosphere through smaller propulsion-controlled crafts that would eventually guide it to a soft landing in NASA's spaceship graveyard in the Pacific Ocean, much like almost all other space debris.

Why is ISS being retired?

There has also been a series of air leaks in the crew's living quarters. This structural fatigue is part of the reason the ISS will be vacated in 2030 and de-orbited the following year. NASA made this plan official in January when they released an updated International Space Station Transition Report.

How much space junk is at Point Nemo?

The spot is about 2,250 km (1,400 miles) from any spot of land - and the perfect place to dump dead or dying spacecraft, which is why it's home to what NASA calls its "spacecraft cemetery." "It's in the Pacific Ocean and is pretty much the farthest place from any human civilisation you can find," NASA said.

Where is the spaceship graveyard?

The spacecraft cemetery is located inside the South Pacific Ocean Uninhabited Area, a region in the southern Pacific Ocean to the east of New Zealand. The area, roughly centered on "Point Nemo", the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, is furthest away from any land.

How deep is the ocean at Point Nemo?

Thousands of kilometres from anywhere lies Point Nemo, a watery grave where space stations go to die. At the furthest point from any landmass on earth, and 4km under the sea, lies the space cemetery.
