This is awesome and totally worth watching for 5 minutes. Lots of explanation on what exactly is going on with the droplets orbiting (note: it’s not because of gravity) so make sure to have your sound on.

The astronaut, Don Pettit, explains that it’s this type of interaction with solar particles and Earth’s magnetic field that gives us our auroras.
