When it comes to giving us amazing views of the earth and space, few do it better than NASA, and this one’s going to take some effort to beat.
NASA seem to have well and truly boarded and taken residence on the 4K bandwagon, and with footage like this, it’s easy to see why.
Having never actually managed to see them from here in the UK (on the rare occasion they are actually visible here, the sky’s usually covered in cloud), the views from up there must be incredible to see in person.
And views that one must almost certainly never get tired of seeing.
During a recent Space Station Live broadcast, American astronaut Jeff Williams told the world about the kind of equipment used aboard the International Space Station for their photography.
I have to say, I think they’re definitely putting those Nikons to good use!
