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.

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.

Astronauts on the way home

Circling #Earth360 before heading home [1] [2]

November 9th, ISS News

Three of our favorite astronauts return to Earth from the International Space Station.

We've been receiving many absolutely beautiful photos from them with their expressions of awe.

What they see and experience opens eyes and truly communicates here at 'home.'

Our "whole Earth" and a "narrow", "thin layer of atmosphere."

How amazing it is to have 'tweets' and 'blogging' from an int'l 'bird' flying high over our blue planet.
