Let’s take a trip above our home planet! This time-lapse video was taken by the Expedition 55 crew on board the International Space Station (iss). The sequence of shots were taken on April 7, 2018 from 11:22:00 to 11:32:37 GMT, on a SW-NE pass across north Africa and central Asia. The video begins with cloudless views over the Sahara Desert and passes over the the Mediterranean Sea. Distinct features highlighted in this video include the the Nile River, Causcaus Mountains, and Caspian Sea, continuing past the Middle East and ending while passing over Kazakhstan.
