Low Gravity

No wonder I have so much trouble getting across to my students that there is gravity in space when the BBC, the Press and here talk about low/zero gravity rather than low/zero G.

Flames tend to pulse in space. The oxygen in the immediate surroundings gets used up so the flame goes out, oxygen rushed in and reignites it, repeat. So maybe that is the green flashing.
