This visually stunning footage by AJRClips features timelapse videos depicting the stars from low earth orbit, as viewed from the International Space Station.
Images were edited using Adobe Lightroom with some cropping to make the stars the focal point of each shot, and with manipulation of the contrast to bring out the stars a bit more. The piece is dedicated to those who dream of exploring the solar system, and those who are sharing their experiences while doing it.
