Fly across the Earth on board the ISS with this timelapse video Photos of the Earth from up high make for some very stunning imagery, so astronauts aboard the ISS make it a point to capture tons of photos for our sake. Take for example, the 12,500 images astronaut Alexander Gerst took during his six-month stint on the station, which the European Space Agency has turned into a time-lapse video embedded below the fold. In it, youll see auroras undulate in the atmosphere, thunderstorms wreak havoc and cities light up like neurons. The videos quite fluid despite being made of photos, because Gerst used to set up his camera to automatically take pictures at regular intervals while hes performing experiments. Gerst came back home in November with two fellow astronauts, but we dont think we need to worry about the lack of space photos in the future.
