Mysterious Spinning Orbs

Photo date: December 11, 2015. Photographer: Mark Mahin.

The photo below was taken while photographing ordinary drops of pure, clean water falling against a dark featureless background. We see a single drop of water that seems to have some orbs inside that are spinning very rapidly.  It's another example of what I call the orb centrifuge effect, in which orbs spin around the outer edges of a water drop, like test tubes in a centrifuge.  See here for 85 other examples of this strange effect.
