Gerst, a member of the International Space Station Expedition 40 crew, has just arrived to earth after five and a half months in space. When he wasn’t working for the Blue Dot Mission, Gerst was often found photographing our beautiful planet from afar.

Earth Images, the jaw-dropping video montage, is pictured below:
With 25 frames per second, the film runs 25 times faster than it would appear to an astronaut’s eye.
