Can you spot your house from up here?


Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions
28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October,
2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km.
All credit goes to them.

Aside from the Borealis it's cool and sort of scary seeing how much light comes off the states. You go from pretty much Colorado to the Great Lakes 0:16-0:19. Thanks Keith, my Father's an old EIMAC/VARIAN high-up and I know he'll get a kick out of this. :D

*I so can't have been the only one watching while going "OOOHHH, been there, and there, and there, Ohhh, wanna go there, been there..." Still couldn't find either house here or in Jalisco no matter how hard I tried. ;)

:D
