Stars over Western Europe and the Sahara Desert . (December 22, 2011) HD 720p

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken December 22, 2011 from 22:31:32 to 22:45:29 GMT, on a pass starting northwest of Spain, near the Bay of Biscay, to northern Africa, near the border of Sudan and South Sudan. The main point of focus on this video is the star field above the Earth's atmospheric limb. The video begins over the Bay of Biscay and captures the star field as the ISS travels southeast toward central Africa.
