Reuters — Footage released by NASA on Tuesday (April 19) shows a view of the Earth, as seen from an astronaut’s perspective, in an “ultra high-definition” video resolution.

The video, shot in orbit of the planet, shows land masses and weather systems drifting beneath the viewer.

It is the second video released by NASA in the so-called “4K” resolution in four days. The videos’ release came as the agency launched NASA TV UHD, a television service operating in 4K resolution.
