The paper presents experimental results on ethanol microjets outflow from a capillary (vertical flow by gravity) and from a hole in the wall (horizontal flow). The long-term liquid microjet flowing into vacuum has been shown to be highly unstable with sudden changes in direction, structure and observable density and essentially differing from well-studied modes of outflow into the atmosphere as well as from the modes of short-term outflow into vacuum. The main specific features of the flows and conditions giving rise to instabilities are described. Possible explanation of the reasons for microjet destruction is given. Keywords: liquid microjet, barocapillary instability of flows, modeling of vacuum conditions, ethanol.
