Astronaut Releases Gorgeous Time Lapse Video From 166 Days Spent At International Space Station
(CBS SF) -- A German astronaut has compiled a breathtaking time lapse video of the time he spent at the International Space Station.
Alexander Gerst from the European Space Agency spent 166 days up there as a flight engineer.
His six minute video is made up from 2,500 images that were taken from the space station over that time period. The photos included images of the Milky Way, the auroras, lightning and cities at night.
Gerst, who returned to Earth last month, also shared many of the images on Twitter over the last year during his time aboard the ISS.
