Bad Astronomy

2 Facts that I thought were right from the movie are:
1)That the comet would vent as it did in the movie. When the sun warms the comet surface it causes gases to go "crazy."
2) There is no gravity on a comet an ordinary person would only weight 12 grams. The asternauts would have not been able to walk on comet without teathers.


2 Facts that I was wrong about:
1) I thought that the sun would burn the persons face like that when the sun light came in contact with his skin. However, the website said it would not happen like that that fast, added for drama.
2) I thought that the asteroid would be going about the speed it was when it enterd the earths atmopsher however it really would have been in the atmopsher for about 10 sec.

A commen misconception:
Bad Moon Rising: Sun is always in the sky even during the day. I thought it was behind the earth.
The Sky at night: Stars actualy emit the colors of the rainbow but look white. I thought the stars just emited white light.
A Step Farther Out: I thought that asteroids hit the earth only every now and then however this is evidence to believe the "snowball" sized asteroids burn up everyday.
