Beautiful, but the soundtrack was distracting. Another choice would have made a big difference to the overall impression. Also, I don't think humanity was responsible for the best parts or the artwork.

Pretty amazing stuff.

Thank you Ann Althouse.

(I watched it with the sound off.)

I watched without sound as well. Beautiful.

We do love the light, don't we?

WV "satedi" When we have a big night out.

Visually beautiful but the music sucks.

John Burgess ayon kay ...

The clip of the brightly lighted Indo-Pak border was an eye-opener.

Yeah, the music didn't push any of my positive buttons, but a few in the annoyance register. Don't know what would have been better though... maybe the sound of silence?

A better soundtrack would have been the first few minutes of this.

Another silent watcher.

I'd be looking out the window all the time if I were on ISS.

I really think if it has time lapse photography, it has to use music from this film:

And MadMan, as cool as the view from the windows would be, you wouldn't see this. It's the magic of CMOS low-light sensors that makes this possible.

Patrick ayon kay ...

I think I saw Lambeau Field.

Paul Z: Yes, that would have been much better.

That video was a much better version than the one I'd seen before... but where did they find that scratchy old record for the soundtrack? Geez that was awful.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Aside from the twisty red ribbon that turned out to be the India-Pakistan border, the other thing I really wondered about was the large orange-lit area that's in the middle of the screen at 00:34. Is it that new oil patch in North Dakota that all the unemployed people are supposed to move to now?

Tibore ayon kay ...

Man, that was gorgeous! I want a really high res version of that so I can figure out how to make a "screen-saver" out of it.

Henry ayon kay ...

Crazy squid boats.

Tarzan ayon kay ...

I saw my house!
