View from the ISS at Night

Photographs taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station are stitched into a timelapse orbit over the night side of Earth, set to John Murphy's soaring adagio from Sunshine.

A breathtaking night-side orbit of Earth, built entirely from astronaut photographs and set to one of cinema's most stirring scores.

Every frame in this video is a photograph taken from the International Space Station. All credit goes to the crews on board the ISS.
