This was so fascinating. I had a teflon knitting needle on @ISS and charged it by rubbing with my Russian fur boots. Then I directed water droplets from a syringe towards the charged knitting needle and this is the resulting dynamics. The droplets, due to charge forces, go into a crazy orbit around the knitting needle. If planets were cylindrical this would be the orbit of its moons due to gravity.

Though relatively recent, Soviet remains have a real lost civilisation feel to them, enormous and remote, built for reasons that barely exist now and slowly decaying under custodians unable to rebuild them.
A few pictures of the moon and Jupiter when they were very close in the sky the other night (though sadly not quite close enough to fit both in the view of my telescope :P)
