Experience magical moments from ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst’s Horizons mission in this timelapse of highlights from space.

Marvel at orbital sunrises, dancing auroras, city lights, oceans, clouds, the Milky Way, the release of cargo vehicles, a Soyuz launch and more against the thin band of atmosphere that surrounds our planet.
