Did You
Gnome?
Did You Gnome: There is no "up",
"down", or "sideways" in space. That means you can never be
"upside-down" or "rightside-up"!
Did You Gnome: There is no sound in space.
That's right - you can't hear a cotton-picking thing! So - Gnomes wouldn't Gneed
ears!!!
Did You Gnome: It only takes about 90 minutes
(an hour and a half) for the Space Shuttle to orbit the earth one time. That's about the
same time it takes for you to have dinner, help with the dishes, and watch a half hour of
TV!
Say, if you have any great little facts about space or astronomy that you'd like to see on this page, send it to ASTRA@ETAL.URI.EDU - there's plenty of room and we'd love to hear from you!
