As we left behind 2017, let me share some Science facts that you might not have noticed :)
Moon moved 3.8 cm away from earth.
The Sun lost 174 trillion tonnes of its mass and hence Earth's orbit's increased by 1.5 cm.
150 billion stars formed in the universe.
Andromeda galaxy moved 3.5 billion km closer to us.
The universe expanded by more than 60 trillion km.
Interesting facts, thanks bud!
You're Very Welcome :)
Useful information, Thanks for sharing Usman!

Just wondering if there is a direct effect on us? Curious as I have never been a planetary kind person.
I love science stuff.
As @shehbaznawaz said, they don't have direct impact on us. For NOW at least.
e.g. Moon moves 3.78 cm away from earth every year. Someday it will move far away where our earth's gravitational force couldn't keep it in its orbit but that will take billions of years. Check this.
According to this article (as per simulation), at the time of its formation, the Moon sat much closer to the Earth - a mere 22,500km (14,000 miles) away, compared with the quarter of a million miles (402,336 km) between the Earth and the Moon today.
I can only imagine how beautiful and romantic it would have been to see the moon that BIG at that time (I am neglecting all the parts where the moon gravitational force could have possibly drove me crazy in a thousand different ways but I still would have LOVE it :) )
none of them have a direct impact on us, however, it makes us wonder about the immensity of our universe.
