Wringing a Wet Towel in Orbit
NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE
What happens if you wring out a wet towel in space? The water doesn't fall, but does it fly out? Expedition 35 Commander Chris Hadfield performed this experiment on the International Space Station. The water forms a cylinder around the towel, demonstrating the strange effects of microgravity.
