Loved the video. Saw it a bunch of time all over the internet already but felt the need to mention here that I for one LOVE the soundtrack (Jan Jelinek) and think it fits perfectly. (for the people who dislike it just mute the sound).

I got a kick out of all the people who convinced themselves the squiggly line is the Pakistan/India border. I recognized the Sinai Peninsula right away and the lights of Cairo to its west. I think a lot of people were expecting a north/south orientation to the image, the orientation we’re used to seeing in our maps. Isn’t it amazing the influence the Nile has had on the settlement of Egypt.

@ Don, the “tank treads” you are talking about is an Airport perched on a land fill. I don’t recall the exact airport, but have seen this before. I want to say Hong Kong or some place in the Far East. It would take some research for me to discover the exact airport. Good catch though. What you are seeing, I am sure, is the reflection of light from either the moon off the water just as the ISS was passing over. Since this is not a full motion video and I can’t initially tell which direction the station is traveling it is difficult to tell that the moon’s illumination crawled from some other portion of the screen only to be seen in that one frame. It took me a few tries to freeze the frame just on that flash, but again I am certain it is an airport.

Images linked together like this to create such a stunning video are priceless. I am certain that to those able to work on board the International Space Station that it is quite a challenge not to want to stare at the big blue marble out there, or watch as the stars wander past the port holes.

What a wonderful compilation shown here. For those worried about the music, just turn it off, or play something by Holst or Vivaldi.

Beautiful, but too fast. What’s with the scratchy record?
