Space Station 20th: longest continuous timelapse from space
Since the very first module Zarya launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 20 November 1998, the International Space Station has delivered a whole new perspective on this planet we call home. Join us as we celebrate 20 years of international collaboration and research for the benefit of Earth with ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst’s longest timelapse yet.
In just under 15 minutes, this clip takes you from Tunisia across Beijing and through Australia in two trips around the world. You can follow the Station’s location using the map at the top right-hand-side of the screen alongside annotations on the photos themselves.
This timelapse comprises approximately 21 375 images of Earth all captured by Alexander from the International Space Station and shown 12.5 times faster than actual speed.
Music is Orbital Horizons, an original composition by Los Angeles-based musician Matt Piper.

Props to Matt Piper for the music, very fitting
Ich hätte so gerne Alexander Gerst getroffen, wirklich…😔 ich denke, er ist kein schlechter Mensch und würde nie Rache ausüben! Das hat er nicht nötig! Und ich gebe nie einen Anlass dazu, warum auch? Einbischen Angst hatte ich schon, jetzt nicht mehr, jetzt wo ich über vieles weiß….
❤
Wo ist Alexander Gerst?
