That would be a cool loading screen

[–]Tsuken 13 points14 points ago

I love how you can see the sun reflected off the ocean. Goddamn awesome.

Previously on Heroes

[–]Crap_Spackle -3 points-2 points ago

I came here looking for that! Well done

[–]RageGodReed 3 points4 points ago

Cant you see cities in the dark?

[–]Astrokiwi 2 points3 points ago

You can, but I think if you set your camera to do that then you'd then be overexposing the lit parts.

[–]rpawson5771 7 points8 points ago

But the Earth looks like this from space http://static.ddmcdn.com/gif/google-earth-17.jpg

[–]TipsTheJust 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I found it strange they would show us the unimportant parts of the earth too.

[–]pilvy 2 points3 points ago

What's the green streak at the end?

[–]ExdigguserPies 4 points5 points ago

That?

[–]pilvy 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, nice capture...guessing its just lens flare or something similar?

[–]ExdigguserPies 2 points3 points ago

Yeah I think so. Perhaps green light is reflected by the atmosphere or something.

I would love to have this as a screensaver or even wallpaper. But slower and higher quality.

[–]Crap_Spackle 5 points6 points ago

I can do slower... can't do much about the quality tho

[–]ChristianM 1 point2 points ago

Thank you!

I have the weirdest boner right now.

[–]Subzero_Archer -1 points0 points ago

Dat loop.

[–]6CAVE_CLOUD9 -1 points0 points ago

In all honesty, this may be the best gif I've ever seen. Thank you!

[–]Sidewinder289 -1 points0 points ago

I love how the Sunlight continuously hits the North Pole.

[–]SW82 0 points1 point ago

Needs more Clooney.

[–]ipiprime -1 points0 points ago

Why does it look like the sun wobbles up and down? Actually, I guess it would be the earth, but from this angle it loos like the sun

[–]PepeSalazar -2 points-1 points ago

I could watch that all day <3

[–]edmyster81 -2 points-1 points ago

It's so shiny!

[–]donkeyrocket 0 points1 point ago

Sweet, fancy, Moses. The Earth is awesome.

[–]KingAgrian -2 points-1 points ago

Home sweet home. There isn't another one like it within 10 light-years of here...

[–]creanium -2 points-1 points ago

From this animation, it is clear the sun revolves around the Earth. YOUR MOVE, ATHEISTS.
