EARTH'S SPACE ORBIT - AUG 31, 2011 (Ungraded): Cuba and the Bahamas. Time lapse from unaltered photos taken by astronauts. HighRes NASA JPEGs muxed into PhotoJPEG video without re-encoding and post-processing. This clip retains 100% of original image quality including camera artifacts. This short video shows the cloudy island of Cuba and the Bahamas as the International Space Station flies from the Caribbean Sea northeast to the Atlantic Ocean. These shots were taken from onboard the ISS on August 31, 2011, from 17:10:36 to 17:16:01 GMT. In the video, you can see Cuba is mostly covered by clouds, but the reefs in the Bahamas stand out quite nicely. (av20943u)
