Since the Apollo program, astronauts have documented (and contended with) how liquids behave differently in microgravity than they do on Earth.

Solar Activity
Solar activity reached very high levels. Region 3663 (N26W70, Fkc/beta-gamma) exhibited signs of decay as it approached the western limb, and appears to be losing its delta configuration. However, this region continued to produce multiple M-class flares, as well as an X1.0 flare early in the period at 08/0141 UTC.
Solar Wind
The solar wind environment reflected near-background conditions, with the exception of slightly elevated solar wind speeds, likely attributed to residual CH HSS influence. Total field strength was steady near 3 nT, the Bz component had no significant southward deflections, Phi remained in a positive orientation, and solar wind speeds averaged near 470 km/s.
Energetic Particle
The greater than 2 MeV electron flux was at normal to moderate levels and the greater than 10 MeV proton flux was steady at background levels.
