Using footage gathered from the astronauts aboard the International Space Station, a time-lapse video has been created documenting the spectacular phenomena of a little planet called Earth. The Sarychev Volcano and Hurricane Irene are just 2 of the events captured miles from the Earth’s surface.
Check out the video for 4 minutes of wonder.
All Time-lapse sequences were taken by the astronaunts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) (Thanks guys for making this available to the public for use!) All footage has been color graded, denoised, deflickered, slowed down and stabilized by myself. Clips were then complied and converted to 1080 HD at 24 frames/sec. Some interesting tidbits about the ISS. It orbits the planet about once every 90 mins and is about 350 Km/217 miles. The yellow/greenish line that you see over the earth is Airgolw. Hope you all enjoy it and thanks for watching! P.S. It would be a dream to actually be up there in the ISS. Btw NASA, if you need a Biochemistry Ph.D to do some work for you up there, I’m your man, LOL!
