NASA is on fire: Shortly after releasing beautiful, high resolution footage of Aurora Borealis (http://mashable.com/2016/04/18/aurora-video-4k-nasa/#KBW7jrQBBiqZ?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=), the agency posted a 4K video of Earth, as seen from the International Space Station.*
Of course, to enjoy the video in all its glory, you should watch it on a 4K-capable monitor, and switch the video quality setting to "2160p 4K."
The footage was taken by the Epic Dragon camera by RED, brought to the ISS in October 2014 (https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/red_epic_dragon_camera). The camera is actually capable of taking 6K videos — that's 6,144 x 3,160 pixels — at 100 frames per second. We're **t sure whether NASA took any footage at that resolution, but YouTube doesn't support it, and you likely don't have a monitor that can display it, so 4K (4,096 x 2,160 pixels) will have to do for **w.
