Pouring liquid nitrogen for an absolute calibration. I think they gave up on R2-D2, and started using this ambient (non-pressurized) dewar. It's very weird stuff, it doesn't behave like you expect it to, since it's boiling, it sloshes around a lot quicker then you think, and somehow it slips more than water does. I know that sounds bizarre, it is bizarre.
