What it does

A feed of the present

Today, you are an Astronaut. You are floating in inner space 100 miles above the surface of Earth. You peer through your window and this is what you see. You are people watching. These are fleeting moments. These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321 . They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you). Astronaut starts when you press GO . The video switches periodically. Click the button below the video to prevent the video from switching. Astronaut was created by Andrew Wong and James Thompson on a sunny day in San Francisco in 2011. Beautiful footage of our earth is provided…from astronaut.io
