International Space Station video shows incredible details of Earth

The International Space Station (ISS) always yields beautiful photographs of space and the upper atmosphere of our planet. However, the high-resolution cameras attached to the station seem to be able to capture unimaginable detail by those on land.

In a video of just over a minute and a half posted on the Sploid YouTube channel, you can see images of major cities like Boston (USA), Barcelona (Spain) and London (England). Believe me, the video was shot from the ISS in space, which is over 400 km from the ground and still orbits at 4.66 km / s (16, 776 km / h).

While the images themselves have a quality standard similar to that seen in other aerial photography services, the ability to accurately track car and boat movement is simply incredible. After all, is there no longer a spy satellite capable of closely following anyone's footsteps?
