Earth from Above: A Glimpse from the Stratosphere

We recently embarked on an exciting private weather balloon launch, and the results were simply spectacular. Reaching an astonishing altitude of 34,400 kilometers (approximately 21,377 miles) and covering a horizontal distance of about 170 kilometers, our balloon provided a unique vantage point of our beautiful planet.

While the initial captures were taken quickly from a laptop displaying the live feed, the sheer majesty of the view compelled us to share a sneak peek. Please excuse the unpolished presentation; the raw emotion of seeing Earth from such a height was overwhelming!

We've now processed the complete footage, and it truly looks incredible. Stay tuned for more stunning images and perhaps even video clips from this remarkable journey!

This project highlights the accessibility of exploring our planet from new perspectives, even through amateur endeavors. The images serve as a powerful reminder of Earth's fragility and its unparalleled beauty in the vastness of space.
