Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —

Shenzou-16 astronauts show off their ping pong skills from the Tiangong Space Station broadcast live to students on Earth.

Astronauts Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao give a microgravity class with a table tennis experiment.

Initially, Gui used an ordinary ping pong racket to hit the ball from water droplets, but the water immediately stuck to the surface of the racket.

Then Zhu used a racket covered with a towel and was able to hit the water droplets without them spreading.
