NASA has released an infographic on Monday, explaining what happens to an astronaut's dump when he is in space. The inforgraphic is titled 'What will happen to Astronaut Scott Kelly's body during his #YearInSpace?'

Scott Kelly, NASA astronaut, is in the midway through his 365 days long mission aboard the International Space Station. As part of the 'Year in Space' project, he is with cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko. The project is aiming to study what happens to the human body while in space. While on mission, Kelly has shared his experience via Twitter. Astronaut Scott Kelly has officially reached the midpoint of his #YearInSpace mission.

The Huffington Post reported that an astronaut's dump gets dumped and 'will burn up in the atmosphere, looking like shooting stars'.

Huffington wrote, "According to the graphic, he'll [Kelly] be making plenty of material for shooting stars. He'll drop about a half pound of poo a day, or 180 pounds of it during his year in space".

NASA has also cited that Kelly, while in space for 365 days, is going to produce 730 liters of recycled urine and sweat. According to NASA, Kelly will be drinking the recycled urine and sweat.

Besides poop and urine, some exciting facts about Kelly's 'Year in Space' have also been shared by NASA's infographic. In a year, astronaut Scott Kelly will be seeing 10,944 sunrises and sunsets whereas people on Earth can see just 684 per year.

Kelly will need to exercise over 700 hours during his mission to stay fit and keep his bones, muscles and heart strong, which means he has to do about two hours of exercise per day. Kelly will run around 684 miles on a specialized treadmill. Kelly will take over 216,000 years if he has to run that much on Mars.
