Short of actually getting a ticket on a shuttle headed to space, this just might be the best view you're ever likely to get of our little corner of the universe.



The video was put together by James Drake from 600 photographs taken on board the ISS as it orbited over the American continents. 

The source photos are hosted by NASA's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.
