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.

On Monday, NASA released an ultra-high-definition video of the northern lights as seen from the ISS.
