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!
