Man (or woman) can only dream what it looks like hovering above earth watching the beauty of science orbit beneath them. Thanks to the ISS (International Space Station) we have the next best thing, a timelapse. Some interesting tidbits about the ISS. It orbits the planet about once every 90 mins and is about 350 Km/217 miles. The yellow/greenish line that you see over the earth is Airgolw. All footage has been color graded, denoised, deflickered, slowed down and stabilized by Bruce W. Berry. Clips were then complied and converted to 1080 HD at 24 frames/sec. Read on to learn what cameras they use and more info about the ISS
All Time-lapse sequences were taken by the astronaunts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) (Thanks guys for making this available to the public for use!) Hope you all enjoy it and thanks for watching!

(111,245 posts)5. The "green flash" at sunset is a rare phenomenon here on the ground
and is usually seen in the tropics.
I saw it once on Cape Cod after a particularly strong front had come through earlier that day in June. If other people hadn't remarked about it the next day, I'd probably never admit it, it's that rare.

It is the highest point in the Coast Range, so the down angle from the mountain has a lot of dip in the horizon. That makes the difference.
