Zero Gravity + Light Painting = Super Awesome
Awesome things are happening on the International Space Station (as usual). This time the awesomeness comes in the form of light paintings created in space by ISS Commander Dr. Koichi Wakata using a spinning toy called the “Spiral Top”.
The “Spiral Top” was developed by Dr. Takuro Osaka. You can check out more photos of the toy in action on on his website.
While we understand what light painting is, we prefer to thin that the astronauts on the ISS are developing super powers.
Keep an eye on Koichi Wakata’s Twitter feed for more wonders from the ISS.

I give it 7.3 Hadfields (10 Hadfields being a perfect score, and therefore only attainable by Chris Hadfield himself).
