NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick, while serving on the International Space Station (ISS), shared a captivating time-lapse video showing what Earth looks like from space. Lasting 1 minute and 16 seconds, this video includes satellites, stars, northern lights, and even a meteor. Notably, the video was taken just before sunrise, capturing the breathtaking phenomena of nature. Viewers of the video can spot a meteor moving towards Earth at the 32nd second on the left side of the ISS. Dominick likely used settings of 50mm, f1.2, ISO 6400, and shot intervals between 1/4 and 1/2 seconds. This video is considered an impressive work demonstrating that space is not just a vast emptiness but also filled with immense beauty and activity.

Satellites, stars, and, a meteor . . . Night timelapse just prior to sunrise. If you watch carefully, part way through you can see a meteor streak towards earth.
