Experiments were carried out for 'exotic' rotationally symmetric containers aboard the first NASA United States Microgravity Laboratory Space Shuttle flight (USML-1). The containers have the property that they admit an entire continuum of distinct equilibrium rotationally-symmetric capillary free-surfaces for a given liquid volume and contact angle. It was found, after the containers were filled in orbit, that an initial equilibrium interface from the symmetric continuum reoriented, when perturbed, to a stable interface that was not rotationally symmetric, as predicted by the mathematical theory.
