Summary

Description
English: This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken October 21, 2011 from 21:18:03 to 21:35:28 GMT, on a pass from just west of the United Kingdom over Ireland to just south-east of the Arabian Peninsula. At the beginning of this night-time video, the main Western European cities stand out significantly. The English Channel is seen as a black pathway separating the United Kingdom and northern France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Large cities like London, Paris, and Brussels stand out as brightly-lit clusters of light. The pass continues south-east towards Slovenia and Croatia, with lightning storms by the Boot of Italy. The Black Sea comes up down the track as the dark patch amongst lights, which is due east of Turkey. Travelling further south-east, Cypress and cities along the Mediterranean Sea coast stand out before the Syrian Desert on the Arabian Peninsula. Near the end of the video and in the south-eastern portion of the Arabian Peninsula shows the populated cities of Dubai and Doha. This pass ends over the Arabian Sea.
