Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

This video makes use of ethereal images recently taken on the International Space Station (ISS). Don Pettit, NASA astronaut, is a talented photographer of Earth. Currently on orbit (his 4th mission to the ISS) he took a series of long-duration photos, revealing tracks of urban night lights as the ISS passed over.

The stars show their own curving pattern, and the aurora adds even more mystery. For the movie, one frame morphs into the next in a magical dance.

Floating music

The music is by Mario Quiroga, a composer and musician in Chile. He is a “musico-terapista” (musical therapist), who creates floating music with his digital synthesizers, designed to help soothe the soul.

Featured is Quiroga’s “Aurora Boreal” composition – like a musical magic carpet as we soar over these ethereal views.

Produced by Association of Space Explorers, the professional association of flown astronauts.
