This great collection of images of Earth from space comes from several different satellites as well as the International Space Station. There are awesome shots of glaciers and sea ice, city lights at night and sand dunes. Some of the best stuff involves dynamic data visualizations that start at 1:22 in the video and show things like the winds during Hurricane Sandy, changing sea surface temperatures and ocean currents
