INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION The beauty of space can be seen in greater detail than ever before.

NASA recently released its first 4K ultra-high definition video from the International Space Station. In addition to providing captivating shots of the Earth, the video includes a look at life inside the International Space States. It even features a space cheeseburger. Yes, you read that correctly.

The 4K camera was transported to the ISS in 2014 with astronaut Terry Virts, according to CNET. He returned to Earth June 11.

This important new capability will allow researchers to acquire high resolution, high frame rate video to provide new insight into the vast array of experiments taking place every day, NASAs video description reads. It will also bestow the most breathtaking views of planet Earth and space station activities ever acquired for consumption by those still dreaming of making the trip to outer space.

Advances in video technology are making it easier than ever for people stuck on Earth to experience space. In April, NASA released a gorgeous, hour-long GoPro video taken by Virts and fellow astronaut Barry Wilmore of a spacewalk.
