See the Earth as International Space Station astronauts see it
There's no shortage of videos of Earth as seen from space. Indeed, NASA has a direct, high definition stream of Earth as seen from the International Space Station (ISS). But a new video gets you as close as possible to the experience of actually being aboard the ISS and looking down on our home planet.
The 360-degree video, posted by RT News(and spotted by Engadget) has Russian cosmonaut Andrey Borisenko carry a camera into the Cupola, a set of large windows on the side of the ISS that faces Earth.

Of course, the experience will be even better if you have a VR headset such as Google Daydream View, Cardboard or Samsung Gear VR.
The video is the second installment in RT's series of 360-degree videos from the station. For the first one, go here.
