A mesmerizing image of a spherical flame captured aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The unique shape, a result of microgravity, contrasts with Earth's teardrop flames. Hot, glowing soot particles are dispersed within the flame's sphere, demonstrating the fascinating behavior of fire in the absence of gravity. This experiment helps us understand combustion and firefighting techniques in space and on Earth.
