Time-lapse video from the International Space Station

[Shaky]

Ok, I'll admit this is slightly more interesting than the Rfalconcam Dailies.

What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth? Take 2

Slow it down, add a few visual effects, and throw in a soundtrack.

No, I like the dailies!  This was cool too! THX!!

Wow!

I liked the cloud activity!  Don't know if it was lightning or reflections of things below, but it was pretty neat!

It's lightning.

Thanks - I did catch the ionosphere.  This might be the best video that I've seen recently.

Here's another one. It's a compilation of several nighttime flyovers set to music. See how many geographical features you can recognize. I spotted Italy, The Nile, and a moonrise.

For a real joyride, select 1080p and view in full screen mode.

I saw your three Shaky (probably because I was looking for them) and an Aurora?

[Wing Goose]

The time-lapse videos were great.  I did not get to see the
geographical areas that you mentioned Shaky.  Of course, I did see
the ionosphere.

I liked the last video best.  Thanks a bunch!!
