During his time on the International Space Station, astronaut Don Pettit trained his camera on planet Earth, and had it take a photo once every 15 seconds. The time lapse video above shows you Earth from day to night, complete with a sunset, a moonrise and the northern lights. Overall, Pettit took 85 time-lapsed videos of Earth, and at least eight of them appear on this YouTube playlist.
