Thanks NASA! We've never needed livestreaming space views like we do today
If you need a little diversion from your post-election news hangover, NASA has you covered.
The space agency is currently streaming live views from the International Space Station on Facebook, showing the blue, green and brown beauty of Earth from above.
As of 12:30 p.m. ET, about 16,000 people were watching the live feed, streamed from NASA's International Space Station account.
