We’ve been keeping tabs on the impressive time-lapsed videos of Earth as viewed from space at night (if you’ve missed them, see this one and this one), but here’s another, slightly different one released by NASA showing a time-lapse of Earth during the day. More specifically, it shows the moon — surprisingly dwarfed in size — setting over the Atlantic Ocean.
The footage shows the full moon starting high before it sets behind the Atlantic Ocean.
Watch the footage taken by the International Space Station starting over the Caribbean Islands traveling northwest toward Europe:
The sequence of shots of the full moon were taken by the crew on Jan. 9.
