Forensic Scientists Conduct Space Murder Research

A team of forensic scientists is investigating the potential implications of a murder in outer space by conducting groundbreaking experiments on blood splatter patterns in zero gravity. The researchers carried out these experiments aboard the "Vomit Comet," a modified Boeing 727 designed to simulate a weightless environment.

During the flight, the scientists used a hydraulic syringe to eject fake blood droplets onto pieces of paper while floating inside the aircraft. This setup allowed them to observe how blood behaves in the absence of gravity, providing valuable insights into forensic analysis for future space missions.
