Okay, some of these are hilarious.

Katie Mack laid out some of the weirdest and dumbest false beliefs about space that she's come across.

"There’s this one I see all the time, which is the idea that there’s some giant void in space, and here’s a picture of it, and it’s sort of a black smudge on space," Mack told. "[But] that’s not a void. It’s a molecular cloud [a hazy formation of dust where stars are born].""There have been a couple of claims going around about the idea that on a certain date, Mars is going to appear as big as the Moon in the sky," the cosmologist told.

But such claims, while on the face hilarious and entertainingly dumb, point at a much broader problem: distrust in science, seeded by uninformed or misinformed who often band together as conspiracy theorists.
