Explanation:
Have you ever dreamed of flying high above the Earth?
Astronauts visiting the
International Space Station
do this every day, circling our restless planet twice every three hours.
A dramatic example of their view was compiled in the
above
time-lapse video from images taken earlier this month.
As the ISS speeds into the
nighttime half of the globe, familiar constellations of stars remain visible
above.
An aerosol haze
of Earth's
thin atmosphere
is visible on the horizon as an thin multi-colored ring.
Many wonders
whiz by below, including vast banks of white clouds, large stretches of deep blue
sea, land lit up by the lights of big cities and small towns, and storm clouds flashing
with
lightning.
The video starts
over the northern Pacific
Ocean and then passes from western North
America to western South America,
ending near
Antarctica as daylight finally approaches.
