        <description><![CDATA[Such unbridled beauty...I was waiting to fall  to 'Earth' watching it...felt like I was flying some what...I too wish I had a ticket to this most amazing ride...watching these films help me to understand what so very few have seen...I grew up in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo days, listened to the astronauts describe the sights they saw, but these films bring me a little closer to seeing a small piece what they have seen...God is great...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I don't know why, but watching this creeped me out. Might be the music, but even with the volume down I still feel odd watching this.I'm generally not a fan of time lapse, either. The unnaturalness of it gets in the way of absorbing whatever the subject is.I have a bit more of a reference for understanding the view from the ISS than most people; I was a pilot for 18 years. From the altitudes I operated at you could see from Detroit to Syracuse New York, but those two points would barely be a sliver on the horizon. Contrast that with the view of Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo and Minneapolis in the west, all in one eye shot.. stunning.BTW the curvature of the earth is exaggerated in the video, it was shot with a wide angle (&quot;fish eye&quot;) lens. It doesn't look that 'round' from the altitude of the ISS. It fills up a much wider field of view than suggested by the vid.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Go to http://www.space.com/15518-earth-beauty-space-station-video.html to see a recordable version. (Assuming you couldn't record this one and wanted to....)All of those 'city lights' are what astronomers call light pollution (not the opposite of heavy pollution).  Another of the many reasons that you really can't see many stars in the sky and why remote mountain top and the Hubble observatory are so necessary.  All of those 'city lights' that you can see are wasted energy.  It is pointed up into the sky and not to the ground where it can be used.  Thank you for this article and video.]]></description>
