This is a reissue of ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst’s highly popular Earth timelapses clip, originally published in December 2014. In line with ESA’s Open Access Policy, a new soundtrack has been added and both video and sound re-released under an Open Access compliant Creative Commons licence that allows anybody to broadly use, re-use, utilise and build upon it.

So, watch Earth through the perspective of Alexander Gerst in this six-minute timelapse video from space, accompanied by a new awe-inspiring soundtrack by Berlin-based electronic musician, creative technologist and TEDxESA collaborator Peter Kirn.
