NASA astronaut Jonny Kim has posted his first time-lapse video of Earth from the International Space Station (ISS), showcasing stunning auroras, lightning storms and city lights illuminating the night-side of our planet's surface.
The former U.S. Marine launched to the ISS on April 8 earlier this year aboard a Russian-built Soyuz spacecraft, beginning an eight month tour of duty as flight engineer for Expedition 73. Prior to capturing his first time-lapse footage of Earth, Kim sought advice from fellow crewmember Nichole "Vapor" Ayers, who regularly posts stunning astrophotography on her social accounts that showcases the natural splendor of our 'Blue Marble'.
