Crew Earth Observations: Special Videos

The archive for anyone who wants to know exactly what they are looking at. NASA Johnson's Crew Earth Observations page collects dozens of time-lapses assembled from astronaut photos, each with its expedition, date and a note on the route flown. Highlights include From Night to Day to Night Again, two and a half orbits along the day-night line shot on January 3, 2013, and Lightning Storms from Uganda to Zanzibar Island. The page is plain and the videos are short, but every one is traceable back to the original photo frames. The picture here is a related Expedition 34 photo of the San Francisco Bay Area at night, taken the same month, rather than a frame from the videos.
