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. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3559131/watch-3d-videos-of-the-international-space-station/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3559131/watch-3d-videos-of-the-international-space-station/"},"headline":"Watch 3D Videos of the International Space Station","datePublished":"2014-11-05T20:17:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:14:23.865Z","description":"Nasa is using more 3D video","url":"https://time.com/3559131/watch-3d-videos-of-the-international-space-station/","keywords":["Space","Newsfeed","NASA","3D","astronauts","international space station","iss"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt23c664f0dfc9a305/6987644acd1bba84066f301e/space-station-3d-01.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alexandra Sifferlin","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/alexandra-sifferlin/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt23c664f0dfc9a305/6987644acd1bba84066f301e/space-station-3d-01.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Space station astronauts grow a 3D water bubble","caption":"Space station astronauts grow a 3D water bubble","creditText":"NASA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/space/","name":"Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3559131/watch-3d-videos-of-the-international-space-station/","name":"Watch 3D Videos of the International Space Station"}}]}] ```
