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

[JS80]

Super cool http://vimeo.com/32001208

Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by Ron Garan, Satoshi Furukawa
and 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. I intend to upload a FullHD-version
presently.

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.

That's pretty cool. The boy has been studying the layers of the atmosphere and how they protect the earth/what each does. Sending the link to the house.

Saved. Awesome.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Stunning. The nighttime shots of the US look like a lava world and the electrical storms are killer.

 

[Wyndru]

Wow, I didn't realize that you could see lights from that high up.

Why do people make a big deal about powerful lights (like the one on the top of the Luxor) being visible from space if all lights are?

 

[bfdd]

Very cool, thanks so much for sharing.
