      Not technically a space fact, but it only really happens in space…

      If you are moving very quickly or if you are next to something very heavy then time actually moves slower for you. (It really does! The effect is strong enough that they have to adjust the clocks on satellites and the ISS to account for this.)

      Hi Zofia

      I know that 1 year on Mercury only lasts 88 days so that means that in mercury years I am nearly 137!

      How old are you in Mercury years?
