The experience

A journey beyond Earth

From astronaut training and launch to life aboard the International Space Station, View From Above takes visitors on a journey into space — before turning the perspective back towards Earth.

Cities glow at night. Deserts become abstract landscapes. Storms stretch across continents. And Earth's atmosphere appears as a remarkably thin blue line.

The result combines photography, space exploration, science and personal storytelling in an experience designed for all generations.
