Viral Video Shows What Happens When You Wring A Wet Towel Into Space; Internet users fascinated

by Edwin Robertson

Science plays an important role in the life of human beings because it is present in everything. Recently, a viral video explained what will happen if you wring out a wet towel in space. The video has resurfaced on the internet, originally shared by Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris Hadfield in 2013.

Sharing the video on Twitter by the Wonder Of Science page, the viral video features the astronaut discussing what happens when you wring out a wet towel in space. The clip shows Commander Chris Hadfield wringing out the towel. However, due to the lack of gravity instead of the water falling to the ground, it forms a “tube” around the towel. The note, attached to the video, read: “This is what happens when you wring out a wet towel while floating in space. Credit: CSA/NASA. »

Posting the second video to the thread, he further wrote, “The experiment, performed by astronaut Chris Hadfield on the International Space Station, was designed by Nova Scotia high school students who won a national scientific competition organized by the Canadian Space Agency”. In the experiment, Commander Chris Hadfield used a water bladder to squirt water onto a washcloth he had pulled out of a hockey puck specially made for space stations. However, water would normally (in human experience) flow to the ground the moment you squeeze a towel. But, when Hadfield did it in zero gravity, the water caught on the washcloth instead, forming a tube over it and eventually onto his hands which are in contact with the towel.

Netizens call the video “fascinating”

The video caught the attention of many netizens and garnered 4 million views. The video also racked up several retweets and likes. The video also prompted many to voice their views: “Surface tension is an amazing force!” wrote one user. The second user wrote: “…I don’t know why… But I find this fascinating…”. The third user spelled, “This is the most sci-fi thing I’ve seen from the space station! Weird!”.
