Watch it again: Shenzhou XIV crew gives lecture from space station
Crew members of China's Shenzhou XIV mission will give their first open lecture on Wednesday afternoon from the orbiting Tiangong space station to students around the globe.
The astronauts - Chen Dong, Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe -- will conduct some experiments to show the physical phenomena in the unique environment inside the space station, such as the capillary phenomenon, which is associated with surface tension and results in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries.
They will show the audience the scientific apparatus inside the Wentian lab module that became part of the Tiangong station in July, and will also display the sampling procedures on rice and Arabidopsis thaliana, a small flowering plant from the mustard family, that grow inside a scientific cabinet, the agency noted.
Before the end of the lecture, the crew members will answer questions posed by the students.
Tune in at 3:45 pm to watch it live.
