How Water Drops Orbit a Needle in Zero Gravity

In this video from NASA, astronaut Don Pettit demonstrates how water drops orbit a charged knitting needle in the absence of gravity, modeling a solar system.

First of all, this is really cool to watch. Some of the drops get moving really fast. God, this makes me want to play around in space. 

Second, I could listen to Pettit say “knittin’ needle” with that sweet little drawl all day long.
