Stunning Ultra HD Photos From International Space Station
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.
Watch the video in 4K resolution for the best effect and find out more about
