Not so romantic space dinners So you’ve planned an exquisite dinner for your loved one. They sit down to a table of small blue flamed candles?? The image demonstrates the difference between a candle burning on Earth (with a tall, yellow flame) and a candle in the microgravity of space (blue and burning on the centre of the wick). On Earth, hot gasses from the flame rise – creating air currents that can feed the fire fresh air. In low gravity situations, there is no air flow. On the International Space Station, ventilation fans replace this natural convection – such that if a fire broke out on the space station it would spread in any direction, not just upwards. Therefore, smoke detectors in the International Space Station aren’t installed on the roof – they’re in the ventilation system itself. Combustion in microgravity is an ongoing concern. The flame’s unusual shape modifies the amount of soot, gas production and smoke. -CB Image: NASA More Information
