Live Updates: Did Sunita Williams Grow Taller In Space? NASA Reveals Long-Term Effects of Microgravity On Astronauts
Live Updates: After spending over 9 months in space, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)astronaut Sunita Williams has reportedly returned to Earth taller than before, a phenomenon commonly observed among astronauts after extended stays in microgravity. NASA has explained why astronauts, including Sunita Williams, experience temporary height gain after prolonged stays in space. In space, the absence of gravity allows spinal discs to expand, increasing height by up to two inches. However, this effect is temporary, and astronauts revert to their original height after returning to Earth. Stay tuned to stay updated with all the updates.
