Ever wonder what it would feel like to fly over Earth in space? How about in less than 60 seconds?
This time-lapse video from the International Space Station is about as close as you’ll ever get to this feeling with both feet still on the ground:

According to the Daily Mail, the film was created by science teacher James Drake and starts over the Pacific Ocean moving over North and South America and entering daylight near Antarctica. Drake created the video by putting together 600 images from the ISS.
In the video, you can see Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, various large conurbations in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico City, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Yucatan Peninsula. Look closely around the top of Earth and you will see the ionosphere — a thin yellow line — and stars, which look like little flashes of lightening, are also visible.
