NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli celebrated Hanukkah aboard the International Space Station by bringing a felt menorah and a dreidel. Due to safety regulations, open flames are not allowed on the ISS, so Moghbeli added a piece of "fire" to her display. In a video shared on social media, Moghbeli spun the dreidel, which continued to spin until it bumped against the camera lens and the space station’s window. The endless spinning of the dreidel in microgravity is a marvel to behold.
