A few months ago, NASA astronauts made a video on the International Space Station showing what happens when you put an Alka-Seltzer tablet into a floating water droplet.
The video went viral and had viewers fascinated watching the chemical reaction occur in the weightlessness of space. Earlier this month, NASA astronaut Scott Kelly — who is currently on a historic twelve-month mission aboard the ISS — took the experiment a step further by adding blue and green food coloring to another floating water droplet before adding an antacid tablet.

The outcome was filmed on a $57,000 high-resolution camera, and is, quite simply, spectacular.
