An
antibubble is a droplet of
liquid surrounded by a thin film of
gas, as opposed to a gas
bubble, which is a sphere of gas surrounded by a liquid. Antibubbles are formed when liquid drops or flows turbulently into the same or another liquid. They can either skim across the surface of a liquid such as water, in which case they are also called
water globules, or they can be completely submerged into the liquid to which they are directed.
