Edgerton’s classical crown of thorns is observed on a length scale larger than in 1 g 共second panel兲, and relatively large ejecta are often observed to skip along the surface 共third panel兲. During hypergravity intervals ‘‘bent’’ Worthington jets emerge from the source fluid but straighten out due to the axial influence of the body force of gravity 共fourth panel兲.

Observational length scales in surface tension controlled flows are expanded in microgravity, which can be achieved for subminute intervals during parabolic flights. We 1070-6631/2000/12(9)/14/1/$17.00
