Surface tension of water in microgravity 6

Saturday Morning Science:
Surface tension of water in microgravity onboard the International Space Station.

(March 8, 2003) -- NASA ISS Science Officer and Expedition Six Flight Engineer Don Pettit creates vortex rings inside a sphere of water. The vortex rings were created using tracer particles injected into a sphere of water attached to a wire loop.

having fun huh nerd

I must be SO BORED, to watch videos about some "scientists" adding a "Sperm" into the Liquid water, with microgravity on YouTube! I should GetALife!!! ...just like those "scientists"! :P

ikr

One is reminded of distance and orbit at the very least.

Personally I find it interesting to listen to the distortion and try to figure out exactly how the signal might be modulated, this says a little something about the experimental setting, and thus the experiment too.

OMG '~'

nice but pls put the sound to the video seperate this quality sucks

thats the best thing i've ever seen!

It isn't zero G, it is microgravity. The shuttle is still under the influence of gravitational tidal forces - the low gravitational field is not even. However for the purposes of these experiments and over these time frames the outcomes will be more or less identical to a zero G field.

it looks like a eye lol

youyr having way too much fun there

lol thats soooooo cool!!!
