The ISS slips back into night as the moon again rises in the left side of the video. Clouds mostly obscure the view during this first daylight pass with the exception of the Caucasus and Elburz Mountains just before the terminator. The video begins as the ISS is in darkness, and as the moon rises on the left side of the video, the ISS begins to pass over into daylight. This fast-paced video features the ISS completing two and a half orbits around the Earth, crossing the terminator line several times in the process.
The sequence of shots was taken on Janufrom 11:43:46 to 15:49:31 GMT, on a pass from northwestern Australia, making two complete orbits to eastern Quebec, near the Gulf of St.
This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 34 on board the International Space Station.
