I saw this on another Forum and thought it was definitely worth pinching...!

Stick on full screen, turn the volume up, and see if you can spot Italy...  :-\

Not to take anything away from the impressiveness, but the video is put together from dozens of still shots taken from a camera on the International Space Station.  These shots are slightly over exposed, so everything appears a lot brighter than it would be if you were actually up there.   :(

Still looks pretty cool though!

:D
