In Zero Gravity, A Drop of Water Becomes a Fisheye Lens

Commander Reid Wiseman (USN) is one of the astronauts currently on board the International Space Station. He loves to post amusing and informative Vines that show us unique views from low Earth orbit. For example, a few months ago, he showed this mesmerizing video of a thunderstorm from the other side of the clouds.
Reid informs us that in very low gravity, water forms a sphere and turns into "the ultimate fish-eye lens."
