| Stunning Earth Views from Space: NASA Astronaut Shares Mesmerizing Timelapse from the ISS. |
You Won’t Believe How Beautiful Earth Looks from Space!
NASA astronaut Johnny Kim recently wowed space fans by sharing his very first timelapse video, captured aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The 68-second clip reveals breathtaking scenes of Earth from approximately 250 miles (402 kilometers) above the surface.
So, what exactly can you see in this short yet stunning video? A lot! From the glowing lights of major cities at night, to vibrant auroras dancing in the atmosphere, and even mysterious green glows from fishing boats in Asia. The combination creates a surreal, almost magical vibe that’s hard to put into words.
Toward the end of the video, one of the ISS’s solar panels makes an appearance, adding a perfect final touch to this visual masterpiece. It feels more like a cosmic painting than a real-life view.
Johnny Kim: “It’s Like Fishing!”
Johnny Kim compared the experience of creating the timelapse to going fishing. "You prep the camera, choose the right angle, adjust the settings, mount it properly, set the timer... and then you wait, hoping for a good catch," he explained. And just like a proud fisherman, he said that after catching his first “big one,” he’s definitely hooked.
Not Just Videos – Photos from Space Are Equally Breathtaking
Before Kim’s timelapse, another NASA astronaut, Don Pettit, also made headlines for capturing one of the most mind-blowing space photos ever taken from the ISS. In just a single image, he managed to capture:
-
The Milky Way galaxy
-
Trails of Starlink satellites
-
A sky full of stars
-
The glowing edge of Earth’s atmosphere (hydroxyl glow)
-
City lights glowing beneath the clouds
It’s a powerful reminder of how awe-inspiring space can be—and how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.
The Night Sky Isn’t Just Dark—It’s Full of Wonder
These photos and videos from NASA astronauts offer more than just eye candy. They’re a reminder of the stunning beauty of our planet, and how seeing it from a different perspective—like from space—can completely change how we appreciate it.
