I've wondered for quite some time: if an astronaut were to remove his suit in outerspace, what exactly would happen?

Would the body explode or liquify due to lack of pressure and intense vacuum?

Is it realistic for someone to breifly take off their helmet and then put it back on so they could temporarily feel the effects of space, or would death be immediate?
