Have you been dreaming of space travel? Wishing you’d be among the lucky ones who get to take a glimpse of earth from above?

Since astronaut seats are limited to select few possessing the “right stuff” and commercial space travel is probably a decade away you desperately need an alternative!

Watch Earth roll by through the perspective of ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst in this six-minute timelapse video from space. Combining 12 500 images taken by Alexander during his six-month Blue Dot mission on the International Space Station this Ultra High Definition video shows the best our beautiful planet has to offer.

Feast your eyes 😉
