WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- New video uses images taken by the geostationary GOES 13 and GOES 15 satellites to create an infrared time-lapse of Earth's atmosphere.

The infrared light, from the heat emitted from Earth's surface, is absorbed by water vapor and shows its movement through the atmosphere.

James Tyrwhitt-Drake, a graduate student studying advanced microscopy at the University of Victoria, made the video, along with a few from other perspectives, which show Earth between November 30th, 2014, and January 26th, 2015. He has previously been noted for creating the "best ever made" video of Earth when he created a 4K video using images from the Russian Elektro-L weather satellite.
