    Light Bulbs Last Longer in Space

    Astronauts use special LED bulbs designed to work in zero gravity.

    Traditional bulbs rely on gravity to move heat away from the filament, but in space, heat can't rise - so engineers designed a new way to cool them.

    Even simple things need complex engineering when you leave Earth!

    Great insight-thanks for sharing, Gina! It's fascinating how even everyday technology needs to be reengineered for space.
