Space Cams (ISS)

Space cams offer a completely different perspective on our planet. At the heart of this category are NASA's broadcasts from the International Space Station, showing oceans, cloud systems and continents from orbit in high definition. Alongside them you will find a camera at the observatory on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii and northern lights cams in places such as the Lyngen Alps in Norway and Fairbanks in Alaska.

Viewers open the ISS stream to see Earth from space, and the aurora cams to catch colours dancing across the sky on active nights. The ISS picture goes dark whenever the station passes over the night side of the planet, and the feed can drop during communication gaps or maintenance. Aurora cams need clear skies, so check the live weather and cloud cover on the camera page before you settle in.
