Time-lapse of Earth from International Space Station

November 14, 2011 to Visualization by Nathan Yau

Beautiful time-lapse video using photographs from crew onboard the International Space Station. I think this one's a hair ahead the Very Large Telescope. Watch in HD on Vimeo for extra flavor.

I saw this on another website yesterday and had to see it again. The folks on ISS truely have the best job in the world or I should say outside of this world.

Very cool to see the lightning activity in the clouds. Incredible view of our planet!
