NASA releases mesmerising video of floating water

NASA has released mesmerising video of a colourful ball of water floating through the International Space Station.

Astronaut Scott Kelly added colouring to the blob of water, as it drifted through the station, which has no gravity.

He then dropped an effervescent tablet into the blob, which caused the water ball to bubble, fizz and even change shape, without breaking apart.

The floating ball was captured on a camera with four times the resolution of high-definition cameras.

The colourful test was used to trial the new cameras, which could help reveal more about the mysteries of outer space.

Here are some more incredible images and videos which have been captured by NASA's older cameras.
