Satellite with GoPro attached takes selfie capturing Earth in 4K
NanoAvionics used a GoPro attached to a selfie stick to take a 4K-resolution selfie about 342 miles above Australia’s Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef.
The stunning views show a glimpse of Papua New Guinea and Australia, lots of swirling clouds and the vast blue expanse of our ocean.
The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Queensland in Australia, stretches for 133,000 square miles and is the largest coral reef system in the world.
NanoAvionics sent the satellite into space in April onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, there are currently more than 4,800 satellites in orbit.
