Antibubbles


 

While aboard the International Space Station, NASA astronaut Don Pettit recently demonstrated the curious properties of the antibubble, a droplet of liquid surrounded by a thin film of gas (essentially, the opposite of your average gas bubble). The demonstration is part of an ongoing series of physics demos by Pettit, in collaboration with Physics Central.
