VIDEO Zero G fizzy tablets in space!
The crew of the International Space Station recently brought up a Red Epic Dragon camera to help record their experiments. It's a top of the range digital system which records video up to a massive 6K resolution - that's 6144 x 3160 million pixels. Each frame shot packs in the same detail as a 19MP DSLR, and it can capture up to 100 per second!
That's a lot of camera, and no doubt the astronauts will put it to good use in the months ahead. For right now, they're capturing amazing footage of coloured fizzy liquid in zero gravity. Mostly because it looks really, really cool!
It takes them a little while to get used to the focus - it might be really hard to get a read on a floating ball of reflective liquid! - but the footage is amazing. We love how the blue and red make up a green colour inside the ball, and the flecks of fizz which break off from the main body. Where do they go? Will they cause a major malfunction somewhere? And what happens to the ball of fluid at the end of the show?!
We may never know, but expect more videos from the folks in orbit soon.
