Sometimes it just takes a little perspective to see how small we are in the universe. Watching this amazing new video taken by the International Space Station drives home the point that in the grand scheme of things, humans are just a tiny blip in the galactic radar.

This latest time-lapse sequence was put together by the film's editor, Michael Koenig, from pictures taken by the International Space Station. The photographs were taken with a special low-light 4K camera by the crew of Expeditions 28 and 29. Koenig says he's done some post-production tweaking to the video- "refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc."- but that doesn't draw anything away from the natural wonders of seeing our planet from outer space.

NASA released the raw time-lapse flyby of Earth taken from the International Space Station last month. The photographs were taken by crew members during September and October. The videos shows night views over the Mediterranean Sea, a night pass over Asia from Myamnar just to the east of Malaysia and night passes over Africa and the Middle East. You can see the entire video series at NASA home page.

Other editors have used the raw footage to smoothen out the movement from NASA's video. Koenig took the footage and presented a new way at looking at the ISS photographs. The result of Koenig's efforts is a five-minute video that shows a stunning view of the continents and passing time zones with the spectacular light show of an aurora borealis thrown in. It's a video that will take your breath away and remind you that despite the differences we may have with each other, we're all living in the same Earth.
