The interior, [a scientist] says, is probably largely water molecules instead of primarily something like rock. But it’s not water in familiar frozen or liquid forms.
“We’re not talking about either a frozen core of normal ice or a liquid water ocean,” Berta says. “You’re getting into weird states of matter when you’re describing this.”
I really liked this movie
Me too. The both times I watched it, it gave me the heebee-jeebees!

(I loved this cartoon/toy/character as a little kid, c. 1986-1989).
Saved 5 months worth of allowance to buy the toy at K-mart when I was 8.

I need to send some bitches to space.
You would think the tear ducts would still produce tears and the excess liquid would overflow in some fashion, even if it weren’t the classical notion of crying.
lol. They can definitely cry if they want. The tears would just stay in their eyes unless blinked out… (look up Google vids of astronauts messing around with liquids in zero g….it’s pretty cool)….whoever posted this is a dumbass.
According to Ron Parise, an actual Shuttle astronaut: astronauts can indeed cry in space. Tears run down your face because of gravity, but they don’t need gravity to form. When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around.
So the real question is why would an astronaut cry in space in the first place? My guess is they accidentally look at the Sun, or stub their toes on some equipment. That might be easy to do when there is no “down”!
