This Video Is The Most Astonishing View Of Earth I’ve Seen

This weekend NASA published an awesome time-lapse flyby of planet Earth taken from the International Space Station. Awesome, but jerky — until now. Someone interpolated the original frames to achieve this smooth-as-silk motion film. It’ll leave you stupefied.

Probably with created with the magical Twixtor, the new video runs at 30 frames-per-second. Check out the lightning storms and the lights. Absolutely out of this world, pun intended. [Thanks Angel!]

      the view is travelling southwest along the west coast of the US and down over Central America, cutting off just before reaching South America
