Alexander Gerst’s Earth timelapses

1 Jan

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.

I’m not sure exactly what PZ says in his Croquetes song (potato crunchy things and chorizo?), but the music goes quite well with this video 🙂

    I know PZ is his name. I was wondering what he says in his song “Croquetes” from another post. Because the music went well with this video. I don’t even know if there was music with the video, it was on mute, I was listening to PZ in the background 🙂

        Thanks.
        Though I’d kind of got that part. I was more hoping for the lyrics to the song or a translation for them 😉
