Space Station Astronauts Grow a Water Bubble in Space

We sure wished we had a pair of these 'red and blue stereoscopic 3D vision glasses' they recommended to view this vid but nevertheless, it was equally just as cool to watch! See the 2nd vid of the 3-D version below...

During Expedition 40 in the summer of 2014, NASA astronauts Steve Swanson and Reid Wiseman — along with European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst — explored the phenomenon of water surface tension in microgravity on the International Space Station. The crew "submerged" a sealed GoPro camera into a floating ball of water the size of a softball and recorded the activity with a 3-D camera. (Video: NASA)

Note: You will need red-blue stereoscopic 3D vision glasses to view the video.

The World Outside My Window - Time Lapse of Earth from the ISS (4K)

Whoa!  Awesome time lapse vid showing breathtaking views from outside the window of the ISS.  If you look closesly, you'll even see comet Lovejoy...







This montage of time-lapse photography from the International Space Station is collected from many taken in Expeditions 29, 30 and 31.

The goal with this sequence was to bring a bit more attention to the station itself, including the humans aboard it, particularly Don Pettit (appearing in the final shot) who took many of the sequences in this montage.
