Dear Avinash, The knowledge mankind posesses is very limited. We are not sure about our own planet, what can we say about the universe. For some decades we were thing Pluto is a planet, now astronomers have discovered that it is not a planet !!! So we are yet discover lot many things about our own planets and universe. That does not mean The Quran is wrong !!! I have quoted the correct translation from Yusuf Ali, well known Quran Translater. You can find the correct translation - just google for Quran english translation by Yusuf Ali.
A few are quoted below...
27.61. Or, Who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (can there be another) god besides Allah. Nay, most of them know not.
67.5. And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.

These are the original verses:
67:5 And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame. Allah made the stars for missiles to throw at devils for which he has prepared a doom of flame. 67:6 And for those who disbelieve in their Lord there is the doom of hell, a hapless journey's end! Disbelievers will go to a doom of hell where they will hear its roaring and boiling. Hell and doom in the Quran For disbelievers a painful doom 67:7 When they are flung therein they hear its roaring as it boileth up,

This is the exact verse from the Koran: 4:1 O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women.
