Δείτε τον ISS μέσα από μια... μπουρμπουλήθρα! Tour the space station in 3D, or from inside a water bubble

A stunning view of Earth from the ISS captured by astronaut Don Pettit using a 3D camera.

Ένα πρωτότυπο πείραμα πραγματοποίησαν οι αστροναύτες του Διεθνούς Διαστημικού Σταθμού.

Astronauts at the International Space Station have created a 3D video that shows a GoPro inside of a bubble floating in the space station. Three astronauts–Steve Swanson, Reid Wiseman and Alexander Gerst–are seen studying water surface tension in microgravity. The first video below is of their bubble experiment, and the second video was shot by astronaut Don Pettit in 2012, also in 3D. Nasa is using more 3D video to capture what their astronauts are seeing and experiencing in space.

Δημιούργησαν μια φυσαλίδα νερού η οποία λόγω της έλλειψης βαρύτητας αιωρούνταν και στη συνέχεια κατάφεραν να τοποθετήσουν μέσα σε αυτή μια κάμερα (μια κάμερα GoPro).

During Expedition 31 in 2012, NASA astronaut Don Pettit used a 3-D camera to take viewers on a "floating" tour of the International Space Station. He pointed the camera outside the station portals as well to provide incredible images of the Russian Soyuz capsule docked to the station, the many trusses and solar panels extending from the various nodes, and of his home planet below.

Separate 3D footage, shot by astronaut Don Pettit in 2012, takes the viewer on a journey through the ISS. The best views come when Pettit holds the camera towards a window to capture views of a Russian Soyuz capsule docked to the station.

Η κάμερα κατέγραψε εικόνες και έτσι γνωρίζουμε πώς φαίνεται ο ISS μέσα από μια... μπουρμπουλήθρα.
