**Indulge your curiosity with this humorous and fascinating book that
demystifies the surprising myths about space.

In the latest book from the Everything You Know is Wrong series, Matt
Brown brings you a compendium of amazing facts about our planet, the
universe, and everything in between! Thanks to popular sci-fi films and
TV shows, there have been many misconceptions about the cosmos - from
travelling through worm-holes to blowing up asteroids. In Everything
You Know About Space is Wrong, you'll find a plethora of myths, legends
and misquotes that have shaped the way you view the universe today.
Think that the vacuum of space would make your blood boil and your head
explode? It won't, and there have been people who have survived without
wearing a suit in space. Think that astronauts float in space because
there is zero-gravity? They're actually constantly falling towards the
Earth. Think that the colour of space is black? It's actually
predominantly green.
Chock-full of facts about the cosmos, how it works (and how it
doesn't!), this illuminating book will guide you through the mine of
misinformation to answer such questions as whether we will meet aliens
in our lifetime (SETI predicts we'll find evidence of ET by 2040!), what
happens in the centre of the black hole, and why Mercury is not the
hottest planet in the solar system. Discovering untruths about popular
science, Everthing You Know About Space is Wrong provides a hugely
entertaining insight into our universe.
