Grownnews: Amsterdam - Scott Kelly, the US astronaut Space Agency (NASA) is a year in orbit has returned to Earth in early March. Kelly spent 340 days on board the International Space Station (ISS). While in orbit, Kelly watched the body of plants, and a variety of other amazing things.

Mission Kelly and Russian cosmonauts to the ISS is to determine the influence of space on bagik body changes physically and psychologically. Interestingly, Kelly 5 cm taller than when he left for the ISS. Aircraft astronaut ISS 3 percent higher. How come? Science Alert Page penembahan assumes height is probably because the spine has eksempatan Untik mmanjang because of gravity.

But, unfortunately, Kelly's new height effect is only temporary. Once he's back on Earth in a long enough period of time, gravity will make Kelly returned to normal height. However, scientists are still figuring out how many months it takes for your height Kelly returned to normal. In 2013, NASA launched a study to find out what caused the astronauts grow taller with a focus paa spine. There are still some other studies that refer to this topic.

Now, Kelly was on Earth. He will 'learn' by scientists to emncari other changes that may occur in the body teah while in space, including changes in bone, and brain. Knowing what happens to the body in low gravity over long periods of time provides guidance on how to prepare astonaut longer missions.
