Earth Illuminated: ISS Time-lapse Photography

From high above the Earth, the International Space Station (ISS) provides a unique vantage point to view our home planet. Stunning time-lapse photography of cities, aurora, lightning and other sights are seen from orbit. Famed astronomer Galileo imagined these views from space and now through the technological marvel of the space station, we can see them for ourselves. For more time-lapse imagery, visit the NASA website: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Videos/CrewEa...
From here, NASA invites you to download videos or stills to enjoy or perhaps even create an ISS time-lapse video production of your own.

Song is called Edge Of The World by Jeff Broadbent. As far as I know it is a stock composition therefore is hard to find. People may want to upvote this comment so more people can see it and thus stop asking :)

CGI can be beautiful.

[@timboslice1979]

God's splendor. Love it

[@thisisnotajoke]

I was watching the video thinking "if only the world could unite for space exploration, just imagine what amazing things we could achieve together!" and then I looked down and saw your comment! You are sooo right!

[@JamesLovesGames118]

I care more for the beauty of the Earth than the politics of how we get into the sky. It's a shame not everyone shares that sentiment.

[@donblog]

Earth is beautiful! Let's preserve it

[@roostewrum]

It's definitely in the Top 8!

[@endrawes0]

The thunderstorms around 1:25 and later are amazing.

Absolutely stunning!!!

[@HappyPhilS]

Nicely done. I enjoyed the edits timed to the music. The music was a good choice, (not as annoying as the soundtrack used on many time-lapse videos). We live in amazing times.

[@Whovianisnotonfire]

It's so beautiful ;_;

[@OldSchool9690]

It's amazing to me, to see the lights and see that we've made our mark in the universe. Wondering if there are civilizations somewhere that have the technology to see us, but not yet get to us.

[@miras20001]

Looks like sometimes Earth loves to have a big rave!

[@persiafanador]

Epic!

And to think we all live there and how insignificant we are in front of the Universe, while we are part of it.

Bravo!

[@TYPHOONghi]

Cool！

[@Midway.]

Those who say that is it the animation is uneducated and ignorant person. This is our real world.

[@66zamu]

awesome :)

[@flatlifecomic]

This footage is INSANE. Why with modern technology can we not get this all the time? I mean like a fricking LIVE FEED! 99% of the time we get grainy black and white footage!

[@HaveNoSphere]

1:04 - 1:09 just amazing. It all is of course :)

[@aleearos]

gorgeouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus♥

You Sir are the kind of gentleman who knows his stuff. The problem with SSP is that the sails are more susceptible to be damaged by small particles and dust covering their surface thereby diminishing the effectivity , photons being absorbed instead of bouncing on it.

[@yvoneaparecidacasarim8467]

Que top muito daora

[@GUSRULZ445]

Keep in mind, part of the reason this looks so beautiful, is the lights of the man made city looking like stars. Its very easy to sit back and claim how destructive our behaviour is - and theres no denying that - however don't lose hope in humanity's capability to restore and preserve the earth's beauty. I see nothing wrong at all with the images displayed or what makes them beautiful.

[@LeonardoRamosMdza]

unas imagenes en verdad muy impresionantes, la vista desde el espacio en las imagenes donde ahi relampagos y los paises con sus luces encendidas, ESPECTACULAR... indeed some very impressive images, the view from space on the images where there lightning and countries with their lights on, SPECTACULAR ...

[@TrueBoricua]

WOW

[@oerksanizer]

wow

[@oopangion]

It'll always be getting better. We're now getting real colour images from Mars :)

[@Nightcrasher94]

1:40 Just wow!

[@DaaaWahhhnnsinn]

WoW

[@Ambot51]

Fair point. I'm not proposing eliminating lighting at night altogether. Rather, just greatly minimizing it while still keeping things functional and safe. Look around next time you go to work... Ask yourself why the entire empty parking lot is illuminated. Or why the entire car dealership lot is lit up. Or why the sides of many buildings are blasted with light. Or why so many fixtures waste light that goes up and into the sky, when in fact focused light on the ground is what we need.

[@ThePrimecash]

I love our Mother Earth.

This is awesome! I'd like to know that is the music of this video.

[@miriavargespires7706]

Que legal eu estou estudando esta materia planeta terra

[@ThatsLeoYKnow]

It would be pretty easy to install motion sensitive lights. There are also special lamps that diminishes upward lighting.

[@PikachuBOSS97]

Truly beautiful, our world is truly beautiful. God did a good job ;)

[@fredericklehoux7160]

law's of physics and humans made a good job*

[@LoneRussianS]

Frederick Fournier Lehoux 90% of NASA are religious, 9%more simply refused to answer that question.

[@timboslice1979]

You bet!
