Water turns into jelly, that’s what.
This four-year-old video from the International Space Station has suddenly gone viral on social media for some reason.
Back in 2013, the ISS posted a video of the (now retired) Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield performing an experiment with a wet towel.
He squirts some water into a towel and then wrings it, leading to the water to just accumulate — first on the outside of the towel and then on his hand. “It’s becoming a tube of water,” says Hadfield.
The experiment was designed by two standard 10 students from Nova Scotia, Canada, who won a national science contest held by the Canadian Space Agency.
So why, exactly, is water behaving like jelly? Watch and find out.
