Here are some 5 facts I find interesting

-Some people use the term lithosphere to describe the geosphere. Depending on the definition of geosphere (which is debated by scientists), lithosphere can mean the same thing.

-The geosphere includes everything that looks like solid ground, including the ocean floors, sand in the deserts, rocks, mountains and every bit of land or formation on the continents.

-Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who lived from 384 - 322 BC, considered the geosphere to include the motion of earth, water, fire, and air

-There are eight major tectonic plates making up the earth's geosphere. They are constantly moving, but usually only a few centimeters each year,

-Scientific study related to the earth's geosphere can be broken down into specific disciplines including those covered in geology, geography, geochemistry, geomorphology, geophysics, glaciology, mineralogy, petrology, and volcanology.

The number of galaxies is also impossible to tell. The only other one that could perhaps make sense is the distance to the center of its galaxy. But, this again is disproved as one star can't tell you the position of the center.
