Unfortunately you may have to play this through once before watching but I think most of you will find it worth your time. You can make this full screen by clicking the middle button in the lower right corner. This clip is an audio visual "Living Atlas" journey of our world, showing the beauty and fragility of planet Earth as seen through satellite data.

wow chez! Because I have a big 'widescreen' monitor, when you go 'full screen' you feel you are right there flying around the globe! What a wonderful video, thanks a whole bunch, I really enjoyed it.

That's great shaor, usually I don't even check out the full screen but I'm sure glad I did this time.

Created by director and violist Kenji Williams, the The movie is based on the stunning orbital imagery created by SCISS' Uniview software and NASA, and shows data ranging from oil consumption and air traffic, over Earth's magnetosphere and polar sub storms to time-lapse images of the Arctic ice melt. It's a new way to look at Earth, and hopefully will instill some of the awe that the first "Earthrise" images brought.  Look for the full version coming soon to an immersive theater near you.  <A href="http://www.bellagaia.com/">More info on Bella Gaia.</A></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3600D719-C5D3-4AA7-83D3-B5E5C5CA3829/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
