Spider No. 2 has finally been found on the International Space Station, apparently lurking somewhere in its box before finally resurfacing today. Perhaps it overcame space adaptation sickness.
The second of two spiders accompanying the crew on the space station disappeared earlier this week, and the flight team had been hoping for it to return.
In the meantime, spider No. 1 has apparently gotten the hang of weightless weaving. Video of the spider's web shows a dramatic improvement in recent days. Earlier this week the web was very tangled, with no symmetry at all. Now it looks more like a spider's web should look.
