    Default Cool Earth Fly Over Time lapse from the International Space Station

    I enjoyed this time lapse of the night time views flying over the Earth from the ISS. Nice views to have out your window.

    That is so Friggin' cool!! I had to watch it a few times because the first time I was noticing the storms and all the little details, then I watched it again to try and figure out what it was flying over each time.

    Loved the Green halo that I'm guessing is the Atmosphere and especially when they flew over the poles and you could see the Aurora Borealis!

    Neat time-lapse, but the music was highly irritating; thank goodness for volume control.

    Several of the passes were of the Aurora Australis instead, but cool nonetheless.

    That was amazing, thanks for posting the link.
    Just a little fyi, last week a bunch of us from the neighborhood was able to see the ISS fly by during the night sky.
    How you ask... the ISS was high above that the sun was still shining on her.
    It was so cool to see it fly by.... and if you were wondering how did we know it was the ISS, there's an APP for that.
    And we were in the Texas Hill Country.

    I actually liked all the lightning storms you could see happening. It just goes to show you how great our big blue marble really is.
