  2. Effect of spaceflight on the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_spaceflight_on...

    Fifty percent of Space Shuttle astronauts took sleeping pills and still got 2 hours less sleep each night in space than they did on the ground. NASA is researching two areas which may provide the keys to a better night's sleep, as improved sleep decreases fatigue and increases daytime productivity.

    The complexities and shortcomings of collecting scientific data from a laboratory orbiting more than 300 miles above the Earth and completing 18 orbits per day at a speed of more than 17,000 mph with discontinuous voice and data communications, combined with the constraints and limitations of up mass, crew time, and on-board logistics, cannot ...

  4. Gravitational redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

    In physics and general relativity, gravitational redshift (known as Einstein shift in older literature) [1] [2] is the phenomenon that electromagnetic waves or photons travelling out of a gravitational well lose energy. This loss of energy corresponds to a decrease in the wave frequency and increase in the wavelength, known more generally as a ...

    To put on weight, Williams could have to eat up to 5,000 daily calories, the source said. The average woman on Earth needs approximately 1,600 to 2,400 calories to maintain their weight.

  6. Stellar mass loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_mass_loss

    A study in 2012 found that more than 70% of all massive stars exchange mass with a companion which leads to a binary merger in one-third of the cases. [6] Since the trajectory of evolution of these stars is greatly altered due to the mass loss to the companion, models of stellar evolution are focusing on replicating these observations. [7] [8]

  7. Atmospheric escape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_escape

    One classical thermal escape mechanism is Jeans escape, [1] named after British astronomer Sir James Jeans, who first described this process of atmospheric loss. [2] In a quantity of gas, the average velocity of any one molecule is measured by the gas's temperature, but the velocities of individual molecules change as they collide with one another, gaining and losing kinetic energy.
