"Las Vegas, Nevada: our beacon for humanity"
April 6th, 2008
This orbital tour of the world's cities was created by stitching together still images taken from the International Space Station.
The narrator, astronaut Don Petit, put together a motorised mount that compensated for the motion blur induced by the ISS's orbital velocity and permitted him to produce some breathtaking results. The fishing fleet off to the north-west of Japan is a particular favourite of mine, but the entire ten minute film is well worth a look.
