Common Space Myths Debunked by Actual Astronauts

Hey, Myth-busters! Today we’re debunking some classic space myths. Hop on the next space shuttle and let’s get to the bottom of these tales once and for all! Picture this: you’re floating weightlessly in space, sipping on a cup of delicious hot chocolate, when a peculiar thought pops into your head. Can you scream in outer space? And if yes, would anyone hear that scream? If you’ve watched the movie “Alien”, then you know the answer to this one. You can’t hear sounds in outer space. It’s not that sounds don’t exist. It’s just that you can’t hear them. There’s no one better to clarify this myth  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6rHHnABoT8]than Chris Hadfield. He’s been on a couple of spacewalks during his life as an astronaut. And once you’re out there in the darkness of space, you can’t hear anything. All you hear is silence. Complete silence. But hey, just around the corner is a massive ball of explosion, aka, the Sun. We just can’t hear the explosions happening because there’s no medium for sound to travel through. It would be quite uncomfortable for an astronaut, though, if they could hear all the noises going on in outer space.  Learn more about your ad choices.

How Deep Have We Seen into the Sun?

So, we've tried to peek deep into the Sun, right? But here's the thing: it's like trying to see through a blazing fireball! Scientists have gotten pretty creative, though. They've used special tools like neutrino detectors and telescopes that can see different wavelengths of light. But even with all that tech, we've only scratched the surface—literally! We've only seen about 0.4% of the Sun's radius, which is like barely getting past its fiery skin. So, while we're getting closer to unraveling the Sun's mysteries, we've still got a long way to go before we're basking in its inner glow! Learn more about your ad choices.
