Random Space Facts in Obsidian with DataviewJS

Add some excitement to your Obsidian vault by displaying a random fact each time you view your note. Using DataviewJS, you can create a dynamic block that shows a random space fact whenever you open your note.

Here’s the code for the Random Space Facts:

```dataviewjs

// Get a random space fact
const randomFact = spaceFacts[Math.floor(Math.random() * spaceFacts.length)];

// Display the random space fact
const container = this.container;
container.createEl("h1", { text: `🌌 Random Space Fact 🌠` });
container.createEl("p", { text: randomFact });

Random Space Facts Script Explanation

This script displays a random space fact each time you open your Obsidian note, adding a fun and dynamic element to your vault. It will show one fact at a time, and you can refresh the page to get a new one.

How It Works:

1. Create the Facts Array: The script contains an array of space-related facts.
2. Random Fact Selection: It selects a random fact from the array each time the note is viewed.
3. Display the Fact: The script creates two elements in your Obsidian note — a heading (h1) and a paragraph (p) — to display the randomly selected space fact.

Why Use This?

• Ever-changing Content: Each time you view the note, a new random space fact is displayed, keeping things interesting.
• Educational and Fun: A great way to add some learning and fun to your notes, all while exploring space-related trivia.
• Customization: You can easily replace the facts in the array or adapt the script to show facts about any other topic you prefer.

Give it a try and enjoy your dynamic facts! 🚀🌟
