Watch A Ball Of Water Float And Change In Microgravity

  • 9 years ago
Astronauts on board the International Space Station showcased the latest in camera technology by capturing this mesmerizing floating-and-changing ball of water.

From the not-so-far reaches of space aboard the International Space Station, comes a floating ball of water—hovering in the air amidst the microgravity. 
But this isn't just any view of a ball of liquid; it's being shot in 4K UHD, a new type of camera that NASA says is "capable of recording four times the resolution of normal high-definition cameras." 
The literally space-age camera catches NASA astronaut, Scott Kelly, injecting a bit of dye into the ball, causing it to change colors.
Finally, Kelly adds an "effervescent tablet," causing the ball to pulsate and change shape as it comes ever closer to the camera's lens.
