Stunning Time Lapse of the Earth From the ISS

Posted by samzenpus on from the how's-the-view-up-there? dept.

The Bad Astronomer writes "Science educator James Drake took 600 still photos from the International Space Station as it orbited the Earth, and created a fantastic time-lapse animation out of them. It must be seen to be appreciated; storms and cities fly past below in amazing clarity."
