Think that the vacuum of space would make your blood boil and your head explode? (It wonβt.) Or that astronauts float in space because of zero gravity? (Noβtheyβre not floating, theyβre falling.) Thanks to sci-fi films and TV shows, most of us have many misconceptions about the cosmosβfrom traveling through wormholes to blowing up asteroids.
