OMGFIRE YAY

"Modifying the gravity causes different flame types.[3] The common distribution of a flame under normal gravity conditions depends on convection, as soot tends to rise to the top of a general flame, as in a candle in normal gravity conditions, making it yellow. In micro gravity or zero gravity, such as an environment in outer space, convection no longer occurs, and the flame becomes spherical, with a tendency to become more blue and more efficient (although it may go out if not moved steadily, as the CO2 from combustion does not disperse as readily in micro gravity, and tends to smother the flame)."
And a pic of this fucking awesome diffusion flame.
This is why being an Aries is FUCKING BRILLIANT, and not just because we have a mobile suit named after us. Cardinal fire sun-signs and Flame Alchemy FTW. This means, of course, an FMA fic set in space. I would also like to point out that among the four classical elements, fire is the only one due to constant and dynamic chemical reaction and not physical matter, which automatically makes it that much more interesting.
*playing with a lighter*
Shuddup, I like fire.
I think it's funny that medieval theologians considered Hell to be a very cold place and not fiery at all. As Brad Pitt once said, FUCKING DANTE. <3
