Curious about the behaviour of water in microgravity, ISS astronauts Steve Swanson, Reid Wiseman, and Alexander Gerst suspend a GoPro camera inside a bubble.

It’s all about surface tension, apparently.

If you have the appropriate eyewear, you can also watch it in 3D.

Earlier this week, hikers in the Derbyshire Peak District recorded a rare phenomenon caused by high winds at the River Kinder Downfall – a powerful updraft reversing the cascade of the 30m tall waterfall.

Sinn Féin Dublin City Councillor Anthony Connaghton outside City Hall discussing his motion to end fluoridation in Dublin Water ahead of the council’s monthly meeting last night.

The motion was carried.

Cllr Connaghton sez:

“My motion seeking to end water fluoridation in Ireland was approved at Dublin City Council last night. 98% of Europe has rejected the practice of water fluoridation and it was banned in Holland in 1976. Numerous studies worldwide have indicated potential harm to human health from adding fluoride to our drinking water. Why are we taking this risk when dental health can be dealt with by conventional methods?”

FIGHT!
