Well I suppose if I lost an arm and a leg in space.
Gravity would eventually put me back together again.
Hopefully in the right places.

'Internal pressure in the human body balance external atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg to prevent crushing.'
However, with no outside pressure the skin can contain the force without tearing. So your limbs won't explode but blood will evaporate.

Temperature is -270C but direct sun will heat to 120C.

Hell also.
'Yama यम is the Hindu deity of death, dharma, the south direction, and the underworld'. Javanese Hindu kings ruled the three worlds including death and hell.

'Ludovico di Varthema (1470–1517), in his book Itinerario de Ludouico de Varthema Bolognese stated that the Javanese people sailed to "far Southern lands" up to the point they arrived at an island where a day only lasted four hours long and was "colder than in any part of the world"'.

James Ross Island on the Antarctic peninsula has a 4 hour day at midwinter. Ice prevents further travel and days are longer to the north such as Falklands.

Of course, when subjected to gravitational fields and impact with other 'bodies'.  What is much more amazing is the number of objects that achieve an orbit around something, whether it be around a planet, or an entire system like comets do, and thus achieve a form of stability.  THAT is amazing in itself.

I suppose the calculations could revolve (sic) around entropy and such... but I prefer to simply view the night skies with wonder.

Black/white holes are active suckers while hell/heaven are destinations but it is racist to say that.

'Meteorite fragments have been found all over the surface of the Earth, although most have been found in Antarctica.  In Antarctica they are easily seen on the snow covered surface or embedded in ice. The fall of meteorites to the Earth's surface is part of the continuing process of accretion of the Earth from the dust and rock of space.'

It may not be possible to state the proportion of orbital / non-orbital events.  Orbits can be very irregular but still function, which is also strange.(Mercury and Pluto)

Strange how two dust particles of equal size and mass can gravitationally move towards each other in a vacuum (void?) of space. 🌌

So the gravity of the situation can be changed by the influence of Dark Matter, where one of the dust particles could move more so than the other either towards or away from the other, negating their equal mass effect.
