In a space teapot

In the photo above the Italian astronaut Luca Salvo Parmitano takes temperature of the bubble formed at boiling of water in the conditions of weightlessness of the International space station. Within experiment of Rubi (Multiscale Boiling experiment) process remove a high-speed chamber (with help which trace behavior of a bubble) and an infrared chamber (with help which take temperature of area surrounding a bubble). The experiment purpose — to receive information which will help to improve thermal control mechanisms in space and on Earth...
