The American space agency recently released this amazing time-lapse video of our planet, which was made entirely out of images collected by cameras aboard the International Space Station, in low-Earth orbit (LEO).

The station has some new HD cameras, and astronauts did not hesitate to put them to work. Between August and October 2011, the instruments collected images of Earth, as the ISS flew over multiple regions, timezones, cities and landscape features.

The entire show was captured in this 5-minute masterpiece, which shows massive cities piercing Earth's cloud cover all the way to space, amazing storm with their electrical discharges, and ming-boggling auroras. The latter come to life in a way you've never seen before.

Regardless of whether or not you like this type of movies, you should definitely check this one out!
