26 gru 2020 · Humans have taken spiders into space more than once to study the importance of gravity to their web-building. What originally began as a somewhat unsuccessful PR experiment for high school students has yielded the surprising insight that light plays a larger role in arachnid orientation than previously thought.

The free Spiders in Space Teacher’s Guide provides instructions for setting up ground-based spider habitats and helping students to design their own experiments. We invite you to use these resources and compare the behavior of spiders on Earth to that of Esmeralda and Gladstone during their travels in space.
