From the European Space Agency’s Youtube channel comes this video showing timelapses of sunrises, auroras, docking sequences and city flyovers.

The notes say: Often while conducting scientific experiments or docking spacecraft Alexander would set cameras to automatically take pictures at regular intervals. Combining these images gives the timelapse effect seen in this video.

  1. Just amazing. I’ve seen quite a few of these space timelapses now and this is the best. Music doesn’t suck either.

    1. Northern lights. Well, that’s what I’ve always assumed when watching ESA’s wonderful time lapses, so I hope I’m right.
