Alexander Gerst’s Earth timelapses

Published on Dec 22, 2014 by European Space Agency, ESA [ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIBaDdAbGlFDeS33shmlD0A / http://www.youtube.com/user/ESA , http://www.youtube.com/user/ESA/videos ]

Watch Earth roll by through the perspective of ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst in this six-minute timelapse video from space. Combining 12 500 images taken by Alexander during his six-month Blue Dot mission on the International Space Station this Ultra High Definition video shows the best our beautiful planet has to offer.

Marvel at the auroras, sunrises, clouds, stars, oceans, the Milky Way, the International Space Station, lightning, cities at night, spacecraft and the thin band of atmosphere that protects us from space.

Often while conducting scientific experiments or docking spacecraft Alexander would set cameras to automatically take pictures at regular intervals. Combining these images gives the timelapse effect seen in this video.
