NASA just released this stunning 4K footage of the International Space Station. This whole video is absolutely breathtaking. At 0:50 we see SpaceX's Dragon capsule. I believe at 3:08 we're looking at an oil tanker and its spill? Someone correct me if otherwise.
Wild Academy, like Max Koschuh hinted, the sequence at 3:08 is from *Dongsha Atoll* (north of *South China Sea*, 400 Kilometers from Taiwan) Side-by-side comparison with a verified photo (rotation applied): postimg.org/image/9comgt3wt/ Sources: www.taiwanhostels.com/travel/dong-sha-atoll-national-park dongsha.cpami.gov.tw/en/index.aspx
Absolutely amazing. You feel as if you are there, not just watching through a clouded and distorted view we have become accustom to over the years. Thank you for sharing this wonderful technology with those of us who must remain earthbound.
Thank you for going to a place which defines us as experienced. Education of people who feel isolated will hopefully allow them to see the world as one .And as John Lenon said, we can live as one.
Benny Chan I know you were talking to Jerry, but my display is 1440P, and seeing my monitor display video at native resolution was an eye-opener! 4K's gotta be like watching liquid light on screen.
A tip on the edit, simple cuts will have more impact. The burn transitions do more harm than good to this amazing footage. No seriously the footage is stunning.
That was one of the finest videos I have ever seen, even the music was good. It was perfect. I hope all the clown who voted against the funding you need get a good look from this. Fantastic job. can't wait to see more. Thank you very much. wc
The Dongsha Atoll at 3min 9 sec of the footage is great. It is not an oil tanker,as suggested by one viewer, the atoll is about 25 km in diameter! It was taken after June 2014, I assume, since I am in charge of Dongsha Atoll Research Station. Some big changes are happening on Dongsha Atoll, I think the two white patches to the north and northeast of the reef flat, check the video, are expanding to east part of the atoll. This is due to dying-off of seagrass beds. You guys up there could see the changes, we earthlings have to rely on periodic satellite pictures.
I liked this because we get to see some of the work that these people do everyday. 2:16 to 2:50 : I want a taco now. I agree with What's a name : The "burn transitions" are a little annoying. I also learned that's what they are called. Thank you.
This video would have been absolutely perfect... but the transition effect from one photo to another, that sudden nrigjt flash, made it impossible for me to relax :( ...but thanks of course for this amazing n wonderful images n music :) ..Blessings!
***** 8 million pixels vs 2 million at 1080p older HD. 3840 X 2160 Technically, "Ultra High Definition" is actually a derivation of the 4K digital cinema standard. However while your local multiplex shows images in native 4096 x 2160 4K resolution, the new Ultra HD consumer format has a slightly lower resolution of 3840 X 2160 1080p (1,920 × 1,080 progressive scan)
i know its an odd question, but how do they go to the bathroom up there? not meaning its impossible, i just dont know..considering you cant aim where things head once they come out. haha. honest question.
Drum 3A www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/thumbnails/image/14648179676_db2001e0fa_o.jpg This one is awesome, i think. And for those out there that wonder why we never see stars in space pictures, it's because the majority of those pictures were taken in the day time. There's just as much light in space, probably more, in day time, as there is on Earth, and few people expect to see stars in daytime on Earth, so..... Yes I know it's a 'trick of the camera' in this instance, in space and not because the stars are hidden in day time because of our atmosphere... the point is still valid. Don't expect to see stars in daytime pictures, except the closest star, of course. *((rant for that question that comes up all the time) not directed at Drum, just hooked to this image)) ;-)
Thanks, JT. Yeah, Photograph exposure can be tricky. I can only imagine how clear the constellations appear from above our atmosphere... On the night-side, of course :)

I'd like to know why every video recorded in the ISS has this "grain", or these mostly white, sometimes colored, pixels everywhere! Does this have anything to do with cosmic rays, that may damage the camera sensor?
Go to 1:30 and look at his shirt. Don't you guys see all these red and blue dots? They appear whenever it's a little dark, on pretty much every ISS video... I think it may be related to cosmic rays!
Rodrigo Brambilla Oh I see what you are seeing now, yea cosmic radiation penetration of the mirrorless camera seems like a reasonable explanation. You see it in some go-pro cams on the ISS too.
QUESTION: In the ISS the sections were put together over a period of time to create the present structure. However, when you look at any footage of the inside of the ISS, you never see any doors that would cordon off sections of the Station if a breach in the outer structure were to occur. In other words, all of the pressure in the entire ISS would be lost, everyone would die, yet you never see this issue talked about of addressed in any way, why is that. You would think, i.e. a submarine, you could isolate parts of the craft if a situation like that occured, but not on the ISS, why is that?
essentially, from what I understand about it, airlocks are made mechanically in a way that they can't be cycled to vent atmo, the seals between modules have pressure sensors integrated in them so if the connection starts to weaken you can repair it immediately, and the ISS uses radar to see if there are incoming objects which could penetrate the outer layer of the station and use the thrusters to essentially move the station out of the way. Any micrometeors or such space debrii gets shattered on the hull- at orbital speeds the micrometeor doesn't behave like a bullet but rather than like a explosive, meaning that rather than penetrating the station it just explodes against the hull and dissipates the force. Unlike submarines however the ISS isn't meant for warfare and wasn't designed to be capable of withstanding or surviving subsurface bombardment so the scenarios which are very real for submarines like breach of hull isn't too much of a concern for ISS, thus not much research was spent into it. It's kind of like spending million dollars to add MRAP technology to a nissan micra- you aren't going to be running into mines anytime soon when you're going for shopping trip, so why would you spend the extra time, research, weight, and expense to add technology which isn't needed for the function of the car?

Ricardo Nuno Silva Thanks for that! I was looking all over Google Earth trying to find it.
Ricardo Nuno Silva
excellent. thank you.
I could watch this for hours. Just amazing! The earth, the space, earthlings in space-- everything.
Anne-Mari M and burito!!
Anne-Mari M spacelings on earth???
Très beau
+Anne-Mari M For all the scams that NASA has done over time, at the moment I'm able to forget it, to enjoy the lovely music :)
+Welshwizardtruther what an idiot you must be, why fake it ? That serves no purpose, you've watched too many youtube conspiracy videos.
4K Video? Now we have zero excuses for capturing sharp and focus UFO footage in outer space. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing. You feel as if you are there, not just watching through a clouded and distorted view we have become accustom to over the years. Thank you for sharing this wonderful technology with those of us who must remain earthbound.
Thank you for going to a place which defines us as experienced. Education of people who feel isolated will hopefully allow them to see the world as one .And as John Lenon said, we can live as one.
Absolutely mesmerizing, this creation we will on will never cease to amaze me.
Awesome video keep the 4k coming
the more you make these videos cool and entertaining the more you'll draw in the kids and make future space jockeys
Wow... Incredible what camera technology can show us today about our planet!Spectacular!
Without doubt, one of the coolest things i have ever seen on You Tube! Thanks NASA!
1440p is beautiful, I don't have a TV or I'd probably think 4K was beautiful too.
Wow this is the first ever 4k video I've seen. It just reminds me of peoples dedication and sacrifice to make life easier and better
Jerry Styler what resolution display did you watch it on?
JT 1280x800 MacBook Pro 13'
Jerry Styler Yeah you arent watching a 4k video. It is downscaled to your 1280x800 screen.
Benny Chan I know you were talking to Jerry, but my display is 1440P, and seeing my monitor display video at native resolution was an eye-opener! 4K's gotta be like watching liquid light on screen.
Benny Chan Oh but its still very clear :D I love tech
It's so beautiful to see him of this way
This Ultra HD video from International space station is awesome 🇺🇸👑💕
Perfect!! Thanks NASA/All Space Agency..someday, I will sharing with you all!
Currently still learning a lot because so much is very interesting.
God, I love 4k :)
I want more of this kind of stuff!
wow, its very nice and oxxo too. I really like to be there, I hope so one day, because its all that I want in this life.
what a wonderful world we live in
Absolutely Stunning!
Way to go NASA!
A tip on the edit, simple cuts will have more impact. The burn transitions do more harm than good to this amazing footage. No seriously the footage is stunning.
How is the WC stuff?! It also floats in the air...
Just one word. Awesome !
Incredibe !!!!!!!! Many Thanx and GHave a nice Orbit ))))))))) from russian pilots
Beautiful! Interesting choice to run the footage of Samantha Cristoforetti backwards.
Nice 4K imagery from NASA using an EPIC DRAGON camera from RED.
Amazing! Next time you guys should put some telephoto lenses on to get some closer detail
Would love to see camera and lens info guys, great footage.
This is just amazing video!!
That was one of the finest videos I have ever seen, even the music was good. It was perfect. I hope all the clown who voted against the funding you need get a good look from this. Fantastic job. can't wait to see more. Thank you very much. wc
Incredible stuff. Do we know what cameras were used to capture this? I know they had a RED at one point.
This almost made me want to cry.
What is that cloud thingy at 0:18? Is it a trail from ascending rocket?
this video is awsome!!

I liked the food flying around.
Music "From Truth" by Dexter Britain. Everyone is asking but noone answers the question.
Thank you!
Amazing, but the 1080p resolution settings look the same on my monitor.
I liked this because we get to see some of the work that these people do everyday.
2:16 to 2:50 : I want a taco now.
I agree with What's a name : The "burn transitions" are a little annoying. I also learned that's what they are called. Thank you.
More, more ,more!!!
Красота нереальная.....
Как красиво! Очень впечатлило!!!
Our beautiful yet damaged Earth. We have polluted the Land, the Waters, the Air, even Space itself for Power and Knowledge.
What is the camera brand that NASA use for 4K?
wish I were in the ISS --serving above earth for the earth - Thank you - KRSubramanian
Super crispy stuff.
breathtaking!♥ i am unaware of but what's the blue layer on the outer surface of earth called? it's magnifique :-D
+appy4444 :) Really? That is our atmosphere -_-
Is this footage royalty free and public domain?
Nick Stumphauzer Yes, typically NASA provided video is considered in the public domain unless specifically stated otherwise.
WONDERFUL *.*
Gee, with 4k , we may be able to see the bubbles a bit clearer........
I love that song, which is that?
Nice video 👑
Какое качество-4К или 8К?Картинка супер...
Simply amazing.
Beautifull!!
What is that cloud above Earth from 0:15 to 0:24? That's too high to be in atmosphere.
Full of dead camera pixels at 1:30... I thought it's my monitor.
@nasa how does one acquire original .r3d footage from your RED dragon 4k collection?
It just amazing!!!!!!!
What's that canister in 2:10?
Liquid nitrogen?
What are you recording it on?
Really the science is cool
that was awesome
what typhoon is in the last seconds of this video?
Awesome!!!
4Kテレビが欲しくなるじゃないですか^^
It's so beautifull...
Nice, just wish it were higher bit-rate. Like as in, real 4k.
i love space :(.. please bring me there :(...
This video would have been absolutely perfect... but the transition effect from one photo to another, that sudden nrigjt flash, made it impossible for me to relax :( ...but thanks of course for this amazing n wonderful images n music :) ..Blessings!
Strange resolution 3.840 x 1.920... i thought Nasa will release some 4k clips (3.840 x 2.160) with 60p?
Please explain what makes something "4K Ultra High-Definition (UHD)." Resolution? Pixels? How many? Thanks.
***** 8 million pixels vs 2 million at 1080p older HD.
3840 X 2160
Technically, "Ultra High Definition" is actually a derivation of the 4K digital cinema standard. However while your local multiplex shows images in native 4096 x 2160 4K resolution, the new Ultra HD consumer format has a slightly lower resolution of 3840 X 2160

Thanks, Joseph DAgostino You are very kind.
Now if we could only get this level of detail and effect in KSP...
Helt fantastisk : )
Very Good, creation this is Good Jheovah, earth,sun,moon is beautifil
Y does the youtube app not suport 4k (my phone suports it i can film in 4k)
The dead pixels are COMING FOR YOU!!!
i know its an odd question, but how do they go to the bathroom up there? not meaning its impossible, i just dont know..considering you cant aim where things head once they come out. haha. honest question.
Очень красиво!
What is the light above the earth at 0:19? Borealis?
The atmosphere, it's showing because of the sunlight reflecting off of earth
I think I saw a red Toyota Hilux in the snow. It was a possible Jeremy Clarkson and James May sighting.
nice! thanks! :D
Someone knows the name of the composer of the music??
Gustavo Gracia: ***** replied: it's "From Truth" by Dexter Britain.
Can they see stars when they're on the night side? Would love to see the night sky from ISS, in 4K
Drum 3A yes they can, and the Earth bathed in moonlight, when the moon is up.

What's the bitrate though? That's the only real thing that counts.

I have no problems either

Guys even if you don't have a 4k monitor still watch it in 4K since youtube will stream the video at a higher bitrate. (less compression)

Maybe some day soon NASA will use the Red 8K camera. :-)
It deeply saddens me to think all of the work put into the ISS will one day go up in a fireball never to be seen or touched again.
This is extraordinary and looks amazing on my UHD monitor. Say, if you have any openings for an old fart Systems Programmer, I'm game as long as I can have Miracle Whip rather than Mayo. Just saying... Thank you, NASA!
