    Wow @MiaChristine now that's some very juicy trivia! 😀

    Thank you for sharing this "delicious" trivia morsel @MiaChristine ! 😁

    Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plant with approximately 28 species found in Southeast Asia, mainly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippine. The word’s largest and stinkiest flower with diameter over 3 ft and 8 ft tall also known as Corpse Flower. The red color and texture contribute the illusion of a piece of meat. Rafflesia is a state flower of Sabah, Malaysia as well as for the Surat Thani province in Thailand.

    Okay fellow Trivia Lovers, SeraphicStar here, and I've got some juicy new trivia regarding another fairly common element in our world.... Rocks! 💎

    Okay so as some of you may know most rocks can be split into three main types or classifications. Those three are known as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. Each of these differ primarily in how they are formed, so lets dive in shall we? 😃

    The first type we will go over are Sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are formed from particles of sand, shells, pebbles, and other fragments of material. Together, all these particles are called sediment. Gradually, the sediment accumulates in layers, and over a long period of time hardens into rock. Generally, sedimentary rock is fairly soft and may break apart or crumble easily. You can often see sand, pebbles, or stones in the rock, and it is usually the only type that contains fossils. A prime example of a sedimentary rock is Limestone 🤔

    Okay lets move onto the Metamorphic rock classification! Metamorphic rocks are formed under the surface of the earth from the metamorphosis (change) that occurs due to intense heat and pressure (squeezing). The rocks that result from these processes often have ribbonlike layers and may have shiny crystals, formed by minerals growing slowly over time, on their surface. An example of this type of rock is Marble 😉

    Finally we are at the last, but certainly not least rock classification known as igneous! Igneous rocks are formed when magma (molten rock deep within the earth) cools and hardens. Sometimes the magma cools inside the earth, and other times it erupts onto the surface from volcanoes (in this case, it is called lava). When lava cools very quickly, no crystals form and the rock looks shiny and glasslike. Sometimes gas bubbles are trapped in the rock during the cooling process, leaving tiny holes and spaces in the rock. A few examples of this rock type are Basalt and Obsidian ☺

    I hope you guys enjoyed this exploration into rock trivia, and I hope you guys have a crushtastic day!

    P.S. Here is another who enjoys rocks! 😯

    I didn't know that either @mysticalmysty very nice bit of trivia indeed! 😄

    Well here's another interesting bit of trivia from your SeraphicStar (or Google cause I only wish I was this smart haha! 🤣). Today we will be talking about something I've been fascinated with, and I hope you guys are interested in it as well! It's about our Solar System! 😁

    Okay so as many of you guys know, our galaxy is known as "The Milky Way" (Cool name eh? 😉)

    Now, the planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the vast Milky Way galaxy. It consists of the Sun (our star) and everything that orbits around it. This includes the eight planets and their natural satellites (such as our moon), dwarf planets and their satellites, as well as asteroids, comets and countless particles of smaller debris.

    Let's go over 10 interesting things about our solar system shall we? ☺

    1. Our solar system is made up of a star, eight planets and countless smaller bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and comets. It's also only one of countless BILLIONS of other solar systems out there!

    2. Our solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at about 515,000 mph (828,000 kph). We’re in one of the galaxy’s four spiral arms.

    3. It takes our solar system about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the galactic center. That's an awfully long time if you ask me! 🤯

    4. There are three general kinds of galaxies: elliptical, spiral and irregular. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy.

    5. Our solar system is a region of space. It has no atmosphere. But it contains many worlds—including Earth—with many kinds of atmospheres.

    6. The planets of our solar system—and even some asteroids—hold more than 150 moons in their orbits.

    7. The four giant planets—and at least one asteroid—have rings. None are as spectacular as Saturn’s gorgeous rings.

    8. More than 300 robotic spacecraft have explored destinations beyond Earth orbit, including 24 astronauts who orbited the moon. (I found this quite fascinating as I wasn't even aware there were that many robotic spacecraft that had been launched 😲)

    9. Our solar system is the only one known to support life. So far, we only know of life on Earth, but we’re looking for more everywhere we can. (I'm of the belief that there is life out there, but I'm not sure if we will find it 🤔)

    10. NASA’s Voyager 1 is the only spacecraft so far to leave our solar system. Four other spacecraft will eventually hit interstellar space.

    Phew, well I hope you guys enjoy this trivia delving into our solar system (and my silly side additions like this lol 😄). I'm looking forward to reading more neat trivia from you guys as well! 💫🤩

    Fun fact about Google : Do you know Google was originally called BackRub ? And it was created by collaboration from Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page in 1961. Wonder how they got the name from 🤔
