In Guardians of the Galaxy 2, our plucky heroes fly through a "quantum asteroid field," zipping around and flying between them until they eventually go kablooie. Sorry to get technical. But what are real asteroid belts like? And why isn't our neighborhood Asteroid Belt a planet instead? Who is Kuiper? What's an Oort? Find out the answers to these questions (and far more sensible ones) in this episode!
