UAE astronaut Sultan Al Neyadi, who is currently on a six-month mission to the International Space Station (ISS), took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a video of himself enjoying honey in space. The clip has gone viral online and has left social media users amazed.

The now-viral video was shared by Neyadi on Monday. In the 52-second-long clip, the astronaut can be seen squeezing a generous amount of honey on a slice of bread. The honey, squeezed out of a bottle, formed a huge blob on the bread due to the absence of gravity and Neyadi was seen relishing his snack. The “ball of honey” even wobbled on the flatbread.
