NASA’s Newest Video: See the Milky Way Rise Over Earth’s Horizon


Genesis 1:14-18, "
14And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be signs and tokens [of God's provident care], and [to mark] seasons, days, and years,
15And let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light upon the earth. And it was so.
16And God made the two great lights--the greater light (the sun) to rule the day and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night. He also made the stars.
17And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth,
18To rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good (fitting, pleasant) and He approved it.

New Video from the International Space Station Shows Milky Way, Lovejoy Comet and Lightning in Africa

As Gizmodo rightly notes, it is almost on a weekly basis that the “most amazing” video of Earth taken from the International Space Station graces the Internet. This week is no different.

But, as Gizmodo also points out, this one isn’t stunning visual of the northern lights or major cities from space. The latest from the ISS taken on Dec. 29, 2011, shows the Milky Way above Earth’s horizon and lightning over Africa.

Watch the footage here (Note: Look closely. NASA says you can spot the Lovejoy Comet near the Milky Way):


According to NASA’s description on YouTube, the Milky Way is the “hazy band of white light” at the beginning of the video and the bright, white light at the end is the sun over the ocean.
