Merry Christmas to Planet Earth! | International Space Station

Expedition 74 Flight Engineer and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui: "Hello, everyone! While staying up late, I filmed a time-lapse of the journey from the African continent to Europe. Please enjoy it together with the collaboration between 'Kibo,' adorned in Christmas colors, and HTV-X-kun. It kinda feels like a video present from HTV-X Santa lol."
