This is what happens when you wring out a wet towel while floating in space.
When you wring out a wet towel in space:
Water doesn’t fall — there’s no gravity pulling it downward
It forms floating blobs — surface tension pulls the water into round spheres
It sticks to things — including your hands, the towel, or nearby surfaces
It can drift away — becoming free-floating droplets inside the spacecraft
👉 Instead of dripping like on Earth, the water basically clings and floats, creating these mesmerizing floating bubbles.
Astronauts on the International Space Station actually have to be careful with this, because loose droplets can:
get into electronics
float into eyes or noses
contaminate equipment
So yeah—wringing out a towel in space turns into a floating water show instead of a puddle on the floor.
