The lucky astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) have loads of fantastic photo opportunities from their vantage point, but they have way too much to do up there to have time to enhance the videos and edit them creatively together. Happily, photographer/videographer Bruce W. Berry Jr. has that covered. Berry took the publicly-available ISS timelapse videos of Earth, then edited, color graded, denoised, and stabilized the footage. Once it was all a consistent quality, the editor masterfully pieced them together to give us a new and unique view of our precious planet.
The video is aptly called The World Below, and it’s an absolute feast for the eyes. What a remarkable, miraculous place is our Earth!
If you’re interested to learn the specifics of the clips’ locations, Berry has included them in the video notes. You can see more of Berry’s work on his website and on his Vimeo channel.

I am always amazed at how close the earth looks from them when they look so far away when we see them go over head. ( did that make sinse)

Absolutely stunning. It was a visual treat but also inspirational: we need to preserve this amazing planet to the absolute best of our ability.

Absolutely! That was my takeaway, too. I’ve watched it roughly 20 times, and cried through at least 10 of them.
