Take a close look at this detailed time lapse video of Earth and its natural elements — taken from the International Space Station over the course of one night. It's beautiful, isn't it?
Time lapses are a dime a dozen, but this one is adequately calming. You can't see what's truly happening down under — what's going on in the streets, you can't see the cars, and you can't see the planes, but it's still hard to say this doesn't bring the wow factor.
To see our planet's splendor from the view of the ISS, flip the video resolution to 1080p HD (if your computer can handle it) for the best picture. This video is another reminder of why we need to keep pushing the limits of space and get American astronauts back up there.
