We recommend switching to HD full screen for this video if your bandwidth allows.

From high above the Earth, the International Space Station (ISS) provides a unique vantage point to view our home planet. Stunning time-lapse photography of cities, aurora, lightning and other sights are seen from orbit. Famed astronomer Galileo imagined these views from space and now through the technological marvel of the space station, we can see them for ourselves. For more time-lapse imagery, visit the NASA website:
http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Videos/CrewEarthObservationsVideos/
From here, NASA invites you to download videos or stills to enjoy or perhaps even create an ISS time-lapse video production of your own.
