Astronauts have a surprising ability to gauge distances in space

On Earth, gravity and acceleration are fundamental cues that help humans orient themselves and determine how far they’ve traveled. However, in the unique environment of space, these cues are absent or altered, challenging astronauts’ ability to navigate and move effectively. Recent research, published March 13 in Nature’s npj Microgravity, explores how the human body adjustsContinue reading “Astronauts have a surprising ability to gauge distances in space”
