Just ahead of Earth Day, NASA has released an ultra-high definition video of our amazing planet as seen from the International Space Station (ISS).

Make sure to watch it in the full 4K resolution and on a big screen for the best experience.

The video was shot with a special camera that records images with detail six times that of other cameras on board the space station. Called the Epic Drago camera, it can actually record up to 6K, with a resolution of 6144 x 3160. Our HD televisions display up to 1920 x 1080.

The camera was delivered by SpaceX in January.
