The bubbles grow, collapse, and rebound inside water subjected to three different levels of gravity. In microgravity (0g), the bubble remains spherical during its evolution. However, in normal gravity (1g) and hypergravity (1.8g), the spherical symmetry of the bubbles decay due to the gravity-induced pressure gradient in the water. Those two bubbles therefore form an upwards-directed jet during the rebound.
