ISS “Bubbles”
BDL:
It seems that conspiracists (mainly flat earthers) are keen on using footage from ISS EVAs, which apparently show “bubbles” from the space station. Their hypothesis states that these bubbles are seen because NASA fakes the footage underwater and edits it all later, while also being to lazy to edit out the “bubbles”. This obviously isn’t true, but that really has gotten me curious as to what it really is we’re seeing. To me, it looks a ton like dust or debri of some sort. Does anyone know?

Looks like the ordinary debris of living. ISS is not brand new anymore, and small pieces of paper, bits of clothing, crumbs from eating a cracker must be easy to find, even though the air is filtered several times an hour.

Makes sense. Is it possible that some of these may be water droplets from the inside of the ISS? I’ve also heard that some paint droplets could come off of the ISS.
Allan F:
I can't imagine water droplets hanging about in the very controlled atmosphere of the ISS. And in space, it would evaporate rather quickly - some of it might freeze from the evaporating, then sublimate away, but I don't know how fast that would happen.
Not enough in this video to go by, anyway.
