The World Outside My Window Of The International Space Station

Amazing montage of earth put together by David Peterson using photos taken on expeditions aboard the International Space Station.
Enjoy the flyover over Earth and get an insight into upside down life inside ISS, towards the end.

This montage of time-lapse photography from the International Space Station is collected from many taken in Expeditions 29, 30 and 31.

The previous sequence, ‘All Alone In The Night’ (see below), highlighted night sequences and spectacular aurora light shows and intended to give a feeling of flying through space.

The goal with this sequence was to bring a bit more attention to the station itself, including the humans aboard it, particularly Don Pettit (appearing in the final shot) who took many of the sequences in this montage.

All Alone in the Night – Time-lapse footage of the Earth as seen from the ISS.

‘All Alone In The Night’ highlights night sequences and spectacular aurora light shows and intends to give a feeling of flying through space.

Inspired by a version of the opening sequence of this clip called ‘What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth?’, I tracked down the original time-lapse sequence taken on the International Space Station (ISS) via NASA, found some additional ones there, including the spectacular Aurora Australis sequences, and set it to a soundtrack that almost matches the awe and wonder I feel when I see our home from above.

To those brave men and women who fly alone in the night to take us to the stars, we salute you.
