Taken over a period of several months from the International Space Station, this video is high quality, seamless and sets a new standard. It gives you the feeling that you are there and flying over the Earth. Simply stated: It’s stunningly beautiful.
 
That is awesome, although I wish the time lapse was slower and the individual clips were longer.
 
The video is absolutely breathtaking! They now need to bring a 3D camera up there.
 
Wow, its so beautiful it made my eyes tear from all of the bright/vibrant colors and it nearly made me have a seizure!
 
Kind of depressing really, world looks massively over populated. Hmm bring on the global pandemic population reduction.

Yeah I wish it could slow down so I could guess which part of the world is being shown. Still a great video though

It always amaze me how we could tell where the Nile river is by looking at that long trail of lights in Egypt desert
 
On Saturday Nov 5, I was with my son's Cub Scout pack at the Virginia International Raceway and sometime after sunset, around 7pm or so, we all got to see the ISS fly overhead. The Scouts went crazy watching it. Someone had an iTouch app that told us where to look for it, so we got to see it just as it was coming over the horizon. It took probably around 5 minutes for it to pass by and it did start to turn a bit orange as it went into the distance. Someone said sometimes the ISS, as it gets far enough away, kind of "flare out" as it disappears.
