One more absolutely amazing timelapse from the International Space Station

We've featured several timelapse compilations of footage and imagery taken from the International Space Station (like here, here and here) but this one put together by Phil Selmes is great in that it also includes footage *of* the ISS, as shot by the astronauts on the space shuttle as well as actual space to ground audio communications. Phil said he included the audio clips "to remind the audience of the humanity that inhabits the space station."

There is just something about these videos from the ISS that speaks to your soul. Phil told Universe Today that while putting this together, he saw "how different our world looks just 370kms above our heads. I didn't see politics, races, borders, countries, religions or differences," he said via email. "I saw one planet, one world, one incredibly beautiful miracle in the absolute vastness of the universe. It gave me some perspective, ironically it brought me 'back to earth.'"

The video and imagery is from the Johnson Space Center's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of the Earth.
