English: This video was taken by the crew of
Expedition 29 on board the
International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken October 29, 2011 from 15:24:54 to 15:52:55 GMT, on a pass from western
Kazakhstan near the
Caspian Sea south-east to South
Australia, just north of the
Great Australian Bight. The video begins just north-west of the Tibetan Plateau, where the greenish glow is from airglow. The line separating the plateau and the city lights to the right of track are the Himalaya Mountains, with cities like
New Delhi,
Lahore, and
Islamabad standing out. Continuing down track, one can spot the brightly-lit city of
Calcutta just right of track before flying over
Burma and
Thailand. Thailand's capital city,
Bangkok, is the brightest-lit city in the video. The
white lights of the city can be seen nearby the
green and
purple lights on the
Gulf of Thailand, which are
fishing boats and oil rigs. Once across the Gulf of Thailand, cities like
Kuala Lumpur and
Singapore stand out right of track before flying over the island of
Java (long, thin island down-track from Singapore). Near the end of the video the ISS flies south-east over
Australia and
lightning storms, and the
Milky Way can be seen rising in the
sky.
