ChronixTech on Instagram: "When animals are exposed to zero gravity, their natural instincts and balance systems are thrown into chaos. Frogs lose their sense of up and down, flipping uncontrollably as they try to orient themselves. Cats, relying on their inner ear for balance, twist midair but can’t land properly. Birds flap their wings without direction since air behaves differently in microgravity, and even mice and snakes struggle to coordinate their movements. In space, gravity-dependent in

𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘 ™ on Instagram: "When animals are exposed to microgravity, such as in orbit aboard spacecraft like the International Space Station, their gravity-dependent balance systems become disrupted because the vestibular organs in the inner ear rely on gravity to detect orientation and motion; frogs may struggle to determine up from down and show disoriented movements, cats that normally use a righting reflex to land on their feet cannot rely on the usual gravitational cues,

TRF BLACK N WHITE on Instagram: "When animals encounter zero gravity, their instincts and balance completely break down. Frogs spin helplessly, unable to tell which way is up. Cats, usually masters of landing on their feet, twist and tumble in confusion as their inner ear fails them. Birds flap aimlessly, discovering that wings don’t work the same when there’s no weight to lift. Even mice and snakes drift awkwardly, struggling to move with any control. In the strange silence of space, the rules

Amy Shira Teitel on Instagram: "Cats in space! Kind of! This was part of a 1962 bioastronautics study by the US Air Force to understand movement in microgravity. There’s a lot more to this program, but, as a cat lady, this is my favourite part! The final report detailed all the movements to generate momentum and they make sense… but it makes me sense just to have hand holds or not build a cavernous station. #history #nasa #cats #usaf"
