Earth | Time Lapse View from Space, Fly Over | NASA, ISS

Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions
28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October,
2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km.
All credit goes to them.

HD, refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc.
All in all I tried to keep the looks of the material as original as possible,
avoided adjusting the colors and the like, since in my opinion the original
footage itself already has an almost surreal and aestethical visual nature.

Comment by Star Gazer ~ Cheryl on December 9, 2011 at 7:08pm: Awesome footage. Do you know what the bright green and red emanations coming from the earth are? Its almost like an aura. :)

Comment by John Michael Graham on December 9, 2011 at 7:44pm: Hi Cheryl, I agree with you " Awesome footage " I am reading the log, and it say's Aurora Borealis, I was sure of that one, but the Red aura, I am still digging into that one...

Comment by Star Gazer ~ Cheryl on December 9, 2011 at 7:55pm: I didnt even know about Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights, til just then. I just looked it up and even the pictures taken from the ground are amazing! See, we learn something new every day. :)

Comment by John Michael Graham on December 10, 2011 at 12:24am: it looks like the red aura, might just be a reflection of one of the solar panels.

Comment by John Michael Graham on December 10, 2011 at 10:39am: The Aurora Borealis looks like a smooth highway for the ISS to glide over..

Comment by Cosmic Seed on December 28, 2011 at 11:46pm: There is a clear orange/red glow around the planet in many shots. I don't think it could be caused by a reflection off the solar panel.
