A series of nighttime photos were taken by ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli to create this time-lapse of the Earth as seen from the Space Station.

In preparation for Halloween night, even the Moon (that spooky light rising from the horizon) has decided to join the party… dressing up as a zombie Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), ESA’s now retired cargo spaceship!

ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli in currently working and living on board the International Space Station as part of the Italian Space Agency’s long duration VITA mission.
