Watch your planet Earth roll by

from the perspective of ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst...

Astro_Alex captured 12,500 images taken during his six-month Blue Dot mission on the International Space Station

Auroras, sunrises, clouds, stars, oceans, the Milky Way, the International Space Station, lightning, cities at night, spacecraft --

and the 'thin blue layer' of atmosphere that protects life on Earth from the harsh conditions of space

Planet citizens returning home from the International Space Station

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

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