Image

Astronauts Living In Space Are LIterally Hotter Than You

Image
Some strange things happen to your body in space. Your head swells, you lose muscle mass, and your bones may lose density. Now, scientists think that you could also run a fever during a long stay off Earth's surface. The Thermolab experiment, designed to monitor the body temperatures of International Space Station astronauts, has found that some people living in space develop a low-grade fever during his or her first two months in orbit. The European Space Agency reported the study Thursday stating once back on Earth, the astronauts' temperatures return to normal. According to the research, astronaut temperatures on the Space Station run almost 2 degrees Fahrenheit higher than average compared to Earthlings. http://on.mash.to/1HeCy7f http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://bit.ly/1K3pLYE #okc #oklahomacity #news
