You’re looking at a cloud of atoms as it's manipulated into a bubble at 1-millionth of a degree above absolute zero in space. These bubbles could help advance the future of quantum science! Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4kra3f6

ALT Ultracold clouds of atoms are manipulated into hollow spheres inside NASA’s Cold Atom Lab aboard the International Space Station. In this series of images, clouds are seen at different stages of inflation moving apart from each other, capturing how a single cloud of atoms looks as it is manipulated into a bubble.
