Look up the Carrington Effect.
we can't live in fear or the terrorists win
we were hit by it and this is an alternate timeline.
There is also something called The Great Attractor which is an anomalous gravitational force that appears to be pulling all of the galaxies in the Laniakea Supercluster toward it. We don't know exactly what it is only because it lies within the Zone of Avoidance- the space directly behind the dense cloud of stars and dust along the plane of the Milky Way that we can't see beyond.
Interesting. You say that it is a lie, but you do not offer any proof that it is.
Most everything that we think we know about space is simply agreed upon theory that has not been disproved yet.
#6 Your body replaces the cells on the bottom of you foot very rapidly due to the wear and tear of walking. One of the issues of being in space is all of the dead skin that gets tossed about when someone removes their socks. Yum.
#9 Oh, there's a lot more than one. The "one" they're speaking of is CID-42, which has been inexplicably ejected from it's own galaxy, and that's actually much more terrifying.
#10 Almost certainly not. The distances are just far to vast.
#11 You can cry all you want, the tears just won't drip down your face. The surface tension of the water will make the tears pool up around your eyes.
#14 An estimated 15-20 meteors strike the Earth every day. And those are just the ones big enough to not burn up in the atmosphere. :D
It's poorly phrased. It should say that's what it would sound like if there were a medium to carry the vibrations made by celestial objects. Very misleading.
In space, no one can hear you scream.
if you are both in a spacesuit, you can touch helmets so the sound has a medium to travel through.
