I remember in the 90s tuning into "space night" on a German satellite channel when I got home from the pub. Just continuous video feeds from low earth orbit with electronica/chillout playing over the top. Was really relaxing to have on in the background.

I can imagine working from home with something like that on in the background and occasionally looking up to "see where we are now" - would give me some sense of travelling and seeing something new, rather than just feeling like I've been stuck at home coding in front of my laptop all day.

that sounds awesome! I wonder if there's anything like that available now. Anybody have any links?
I’m a big fan too, so here are a couple of links:

Re: Space Night, there are some clips on YT, like in this list: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRhLbAy-ujs&list=PLCDF7A13D5...
This is a good one. Goes up to (Youtube quality) 4K as well.
