In space, metal sticks together

If you put two pieces of metal together in space, they will stick together. This process is called cold welding. Atoms on the surface of metals don't "feel" the difference between their metal and their neighbor. And they form similar bonds with them.

On Earth, this is prevented by oxygen, which is found in almost every corner of our planet. And oxidation prevents them from sticking together.

Astronauts, who bring instruments from Earth, are not afraid of "sticking" anyway. After all, every instrument retains an oxide layer. Any additional layer, be it gas or dirt, prevents sticking.
