12 coolest 4K space videos to escape Earth for a few minutes - Mashable

This event was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, a spacecraft from NASA's Living With a Star mission which has been observing the sun since 2010.

This video is particularly special, as the flare was captured in several wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light, which is typically invisible to our eyes but is shown in different color-coded footage in Solar Dynamics Observatory images for easy viewing.

This short video uses time-lapses shot from the International Space Station and shows both the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis phenomena that occur when electrically charged electrons and protons in the Earth's magnetic field collide with neutral atoms in the upper atmosphere.

Shot back in 2015, this then-groundbreaking imagery is from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, captured as part of a series of annual portraits of the solar system's outer planets.

Set to Paul Simon's "The Sound of Silence" performed by Disturbed, this 4K video brings you stunning footage of Earth from the International Space Station in low-earth orbit during the months of August through October in 2017. .

This video comprises time-lapse imagery taken by NASA astronaut Jack Fischer from the International Space Station in 4K UHD.

This ultra-high-definition video was shot in August 2016 as the International Space Station traveled nearly 1,000 miles, taking in views from above the western coast of France to the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, Switzerland, southern Germany, and Austria, and southward to the countries of the Balkan Peninsula

On November 11, 2019, (11/11/19!) NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory watched as Mercury moved across the Sun

The clip cycles through the variety of wavelengths of light the Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the event in. 

From imagery from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which monitors the star 24/7, these images are captured in 10 different wavelengths, each of which helps highlight a different temperature of solar material

If you can't get enough of Earth, this extended playback of ultra-high-definition views of our planet captured by NASA astronaut Jeff Williams during his mission on the International Space Station in 2016 is for you

Astronauts on the International Space Station dissolved an effervescent tablet in a floating ball of water and captured images using a 4K camera
