NASA Earth Night Seen From Space.

April 20, 2012 -- Before Earth Day approaches let us celebrate Earth Night with a video of time-lapse imagery from the International Space Station. A big thank you to Roger Weiss, technical integration specialist for the ISS, for alerting us to today's great show from ReelNASA.
The song "Walking in the Air," by Howard Blake, is especially chosen for its lyrics:


We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly


I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you


Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams


Children gaze open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes


We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy
Mountain floating by


Suddenly swooping low on an ocean deep
Arousing of a mighty monster from its sleep


We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
