DID YOU KNOW????
If you leave Earth at the age
of 15 in a spaceship
traveling at the speed of
light and spend 5 years in
space, you will return to
Earth at the age of 20.
However, all of your friends
who were 15 when you left
will have aged to 65 by the
time you get back.
Most astronauts
become two inches
taller -in space.
Any free-moving
liquid in outer
space will
form itself into
a sphere
There's a highway in
Space, called the
Superhighway.
It is used by spacecraft
to travel as there they
experience least
resistance by
gravitational force
If the Sun was scaled
down to the size of a
white blood cell, then,
using the same scale,
the Milky Way galaxy
would be about the
size of the United
States.
MYTHS
You'll explode if
you go into space
without a suit on
It's a commonly peddled myth, especially
in old science fiction movies, but it’s
actually completely false. The nitrogen in
your body would expand and you'd
bloat severely, and you'd eventually die.
However, your skin is far too tough to let
everything explode out of it.
The first animal in
space was a dog
Laika was an adorable Russian dog
that launched on Sputnik 2 in 1957. It
was the first animal to orbit the
Earth, however it wasn't the first
animal in space.
This title is reserved for the humble
fruit fly. A few were launched into
space by American scientists in 1
947, to help them study radiation.
The Sun is a big ball of
fire
It may be hot (1 5 million0C at its core, in fact), but
the Sun isn't just one massive open flame. It
actually gives off heat and light through a process
called nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms crash
into one another creating helium.
