2. Earth from space
Here’s a stream that brings back all our childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut again. Since 2014, NASA activated their High Definition Earth Viewing (HDEV) experiment that live-streams HD views of Earth right from the International Space Station (ISS). If you see a black screen on the feed, don’t fret! That happens when the ISS is on the Earth’s night side, and it won’t be too long until you see our beautiful planet spinning into view, maybe even boasting a stunning sunset!
