This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. Finally, the pass finishes near the Nile River Delta and the Red Sea.Īurora Borealis and the United States at Night The ISS then tracks over the Mediterranean Sea, with Greece to the left of track, northern Africa right of track, and the island of Crete. The pass continues over the snow-covered Alps and to the Italian Peninsula, where lightning storms cover the southern half of the Across the English Channel, the cities of Brussels and Rotterdam (left) and Paris (brightly-lit city west of Brussels) all stand out through a network of smaller cities in Western Europe.

Tracking southeast, the first view of lights is from the United Kingdom (Ireland, up-track from the UK, is under cloud), with cities like Liverpool and London showing up nicely. At the beginning of the video, the Aurora Borealis can be seen in the far left along with clouds over the North Atlantic Ocean. The sequence of shots was taken Octofrom 00:47:28 to 01:02:56 GMT, on a pass beginning over the North Atlantic Ocean, east of the Island of Newfoundland to the northern part of the Red Sea, over the Gulf of Suez and the Sinai Peninsula. As the ISS passes back over into daylight, clouds obscure most of the Earth until near the end of the video, when it passes over the Baja Peninsula and the southwestern United States. The ISS then passes over the terminator line again into darkness as the moon rises in the left side of the video. Most of Western Europe is under cloud, and the first land that can be seen is the Alps Mountains and Croatia. As the Station flies back into daylight, the ISS flies over Central America, the Caribbean Sea, and Cuba and Florida before flying over the northern Atlantic The ISS slips back into night as the moon again rises in the left side of the video. Clouds mostly obscure the view during this first daylight pass with the exception of the Caucasus and Elburz Mountains just before the terminator. The video begins as the ISS is in darkness, and as the moon rises on the left side of the video, the ISS begins to pass over into daylight. This fast-paced video features the ISS completing two and a half orbits around the Earth, crossing the terminator line several times in the process. The sequence of shots was taken on Janufrom 11:43:46 to 15:49:31 GMT, on a pass from northwestern Australia, making two complete orbits to eastern Quebec, near the Gulf of St. I created this work for the means of an interface to the people who are yet to know of the extremely grave, but present problem of the world.This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 34 on board the International Space Station. The blinking light, sound and the numbers on the world map show when, where and how many experiments each country have conducted. No letter is used for equal messaging to all viewers without language barrier. This piece of work is a bird's eye view of the history by scaling down a month length of time into one second. Here's a rather sober explanation of the project in Hashimoto's own words: The result is a fairly unsettling look at our collective fascination with destruction between 19, where the world managed to set off 2053 nuclear explosions. This time lapse, created by Japanese artist Isao Hashimoto, goes a long way in highlighting that frequency. Sure, you're probably vaguely aware that nuclear tests occured throughout the twentieth century by some of the world's most powerful nations (mainly the United States) but chances are you'd be surprised by the frequency. Broadly speaking, most people know very little about the usage and testing of nuclear weapons.
