The researchers at the International Space Station have found that spiders are able to make their webs inside the space station despite the absence of gravity. The researchers put two spiders in different containers on the ISS and observed them for two months. The researchers "assessed the spider orientation in 100 webs based on 14,528 pictures, of which 14,021 showed the spider in its resting position."
