Video of International Space Station Surfaces

Have you ever wanted to know what the earth looks like from the International Space Station at night? Well, now you have your chance. The video embedded in this article is quite possibly the best video footage of the earth from the International Space Station out there today. The International Space Station is the ninth of its kind and is habitable, which means that people can live in it if need be.

The International Space Station was launched back in 1998 and is scheduled to remain in space until at least 2016. As of today, February 28, the space station has been in orbit for 4,848 days and has been occupied for 4,135 days. It takes 91 minutes for the space station to orbit the earth and has made 76,097 orbits of the earth since its launch.

Take a look at the video embedded in this post and let us know what you think of the view of earth from the space station in the comment section below. This is one of the most remarkable videos of the earth from the space station we have seen in a long time. We have already watched it multiple times and cannot seem to get enough of it.
