As GEOINT professionals, we often overlook that simple truth that the Earth is absolutely beautiful. We were reminded of this when we stumbled upon an incredible time-lapse sequence of photographs taken on board the International Space Station earlier this year. The pictures, complete with an ultra-cool song to go with it, were taken by crew members during two expeditions with a special low-light 4K-camera. The result is absolutely stunning and we hope you enjoy it.
