Our Beautiful Home

I'll admit it: I'm a Space Junkie. Whether near or far, just above our home here on Earth or beyond our solar system, it fascinates me. I also love music; from the classics, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is my all-time favorite, to Classic Rock sung by Bob Seger and others, to present-day Country 'n' Western tunes.

Put those two loves together and you just may find yourself enthralled with something like the fantastic production from NASA shown below. We live in a beautiful place. As you watch, note the location identification that will pop up in the lower left corner from time to time—nice to know what you're seeing.

Sit back, make sure the speakers are turned on, and enjoy the beauty and wonder of our planet for the next four minutes...

This video features a series of time lapse sequences photographed by the Expedition 30 crew aboard the International Space Station. Set to the song "Walking in the Air," by Howard Blake, the video takes viewers around the world, through auroras, and over dazzling lightning displays.
