Emirati Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi shared video of a mobile tablet rotating in the certain directions with a little force.

Al Neyadi explained how objects rotate in the space, where the gravity is zero.

He noted that the direction of rotation relies on the position of the object.

For example, if an object is release in a certain position it will rotate regularly in the same intended direction, however it will rotate somehow irregularly and not in the same direction, if the position is changed.     

Al Neyadi did not explain the reason for this, and left it for intelligent people to explain this phenomenon.

He said, “Only intelligent people can tell us the reason why this happening.”

Last week, Al Neyadi has shared a photo of himself exercising aboard the International Space Station.

Al Neyadi wrote on Twitter, “On Earth, exercising is important. In space, it's vital. Aboard the International Space Station, we exercise for 2.5 hours every day to avoid muscle atrophy and bone loss triggered by microgravity.”

The MBR space centre said on Twitter, “Astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi and his Crew-6 colleagues have started to work on their tasks aboard the ISS.

“Sultan is seen in the Japanese KIBO module which hosts experiments that focus on different fields including space medicine, biology and Earth observation.”

Al Neyadi also shared images of some samples of tomatoes that were previously grown aboard the International Space Station, in preparation for analysis as part of a study on sustainable food security in space (Veg-05 agricultural space experiment).

The four Crew-6 members are two NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, Russian cosmonaut, Andrey Fedyaev, and Emirati astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi.

On March 8, Al Neyadi shared breathtaking selfies from the ISS.

Al Neyadi said on Twitter, “From space, I salute earth. I salute our homeland and its leaders. I salute all those who carried Zayed’s Ambition in their hearts and aim high to the sky. The dream has come true and now we dream bigger.”
