This. Is stunning.

Fly around the world in this time lapse video taken from space. Hold your breath.

Now there’s a bit of perspective. It’s beautiful.

    I drop a leave a response each time I like a article
    on a site or if I have something to contribute to the conversation.
    It’s caused by the sincerness displayed in the article I read. And after this article Mamamia – Let’s Catch Up…Around the Earth in 5 minutes. Beautiful video taken from space.. I was actually excited enough to post a thought :) I do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay. Could it be simply me or does it seem like a few of the responses appear as if they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you list every one of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

    As beautiful as it is I am disturbed (but not surprised) by the lights. It says a lot that the stamp of mankind is so visible from space. I have done quite a bit of travelling in the past couple of years (travel itself isn’t great for our planet I know) and it has become more and more apparent to me that we have screwed our planet beyond repair. Sad stuff.

    I showed this to my kids (6 & 4) who thought it was boring until they started looking for the North Pole – then they got so into it I had to replay it in case they missed Santa’s house the first time!

    So peaceful – makes me feel that we are such a small part of the picture. It also has a very calming effect, I felt quite rested and trouble free after watching this (video meditation perhaps?)

      I get like that whenever I see or look at anything to do with space :) Some people laugh at me for it…

    I twittered this link to mamamia this morning, glad you liked it enough to share. If you scroll down under the video it gives you the geological reference for each scene. The last one is going over China and I think that long line of lights is the great wall.

    I am not tech dumb and I am embarrassed to keep asking this but can a user or a staff member please explain to me how to access the videos on mamamia, I can not locate this one here nor the dogs welcoming home veterans. Have tried the video link, the you tube link, as far as I can see there is no where to click on this page to access the video, please, soz, but can someone point out the bleedin obvious!

      Didn’t see your tweet sorry! I saw this on the ABC.

      I’m not quite sure what you mean by ‘access’ the videos? I know sometimes videos don’t show up in the post for people, is that what you mean? Because that’s likely an issue with individual browsers…
