From the International Space Station, astronauts can glory in the beauty of the Earth from above and the vastness of space from below. Astronaut Don Pettit spent more than a year on the International Space Station and took an incredible number of images.
Christoph Malin took a whole bunch of Pettit's images taken from the station and compiled them into time lapse videos. He interspersed these videos with a talk given by Pettit at the PhotoShelter Luminance Conference from 2012.
I completely recommend watching the whole video, below. But here are the time spots where you can skip to Malin's incredible videos.
