Flying through space looking down on our planet.

Posted by Mr Mallon on November 15, 2011

A super time lapse film of the International Space Station as it flies over the planet.
Look out for the aurora. These are the green bands on the edge of the Earth. You can also see lightning storms and big cities lit up at night.
What a joy to see.
