Seeing Earth IN Space [new ISS timelapse footage]

We've all seen pictures of Earth from space, but have we really taken the time to appreciate what our planet looks like against the starscapes of the Milky Way galaxy? Here, we beckon viewers to see Earth in its cosmic context, which includes the stars, interstellar gases, the moon, the sun, and the solar winds. Be sure to watch in full HD, 1080p, and imagine you're an astronaut aboard the International Space Station with a little time on your hands.

It is my dream to be up there one day.. if only we were able to get the chance to live such an experience for at least once in our life. Such beauty emits from our planet from an exterior perspective.

I don't know why I got so many downvotes and marked as spam... I said UFO as in, unidentified flying object. As to me, I didn't know what was flying right there. Couldn't it be a meteor or asteroid?

And just asking, are you sure it's a satellite flying across? And you said "look at a clear sky", but this was filmed from the ISS, won't that make a difference? Ground view and ISS view of the sky?

Btw: to some people, 'UFO' does not mean alien spacecraft..

it's called a satellite, if you look at a clear sky before dawn or after dusk you will see many satellites reflecting sun light, thus appearing as a moving spec of light in the sky.

I am the realization, materialization, embodiment, concretion, from the my territory that I spread and expand and filled up.

a UFO. In the corner you see a white dot appear and 1 second later, it's gone.

this 100 per cent CG. This is not film from the ISS. It's a representation of what it might look like. Definitely enhanced.
