<p>A stunning timelapse video of Earth completing an entire rotation as the day moves from the start to the end has been recorded by the Himawari-8 satellite and shared on social media which left the netizens marvelled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The footage provides a breathtaking view of the rotation of the Earth in space within a few seconds.</p>

<p>The footage was shared on social media platform X by the account @wonderofscience. In the post, it was said that the full day’s rotation of the Earth has been captured in which the planet is seen seamlessly transitioning from daylight to darkness.</p>

<p>The caption with the post read, “A day passing on planet Earth seen from 36,000 kilometres (22,000 miles) by the satellite Himawari-8."</p>

<p>The video was shot from an altitude of 36,000 kilometres and gives a stunning perspective of the daily cycle of Earth in which the sunlight was seen moving across the globe.&nbsp;</p>

Watch: Earth's completion of full rotation captured in stunning timelapse video

<p>In a mesmerising video shot by NASA&nbsp;astronaut Matthew Dominick from the International Space Station, a fleeting meteor, stars and auroras were seen sparkling in space.</p>

<p>Commander of the&nbsp;SpaceX Crew-8&nbsp;mission Dominick posted a new timelapse of pictures clicked of Earth just before sunrise.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the beautiful nighttime video, auroras were seen winding through the atmosphere of Earth, along with passing satellites, glittering stars and a meteor streak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The astronaut recorded the timelapse video from inside the&nbsp;Cupola module&nbsp;of the orbiting lab and the robotic Canadarm2 was visible in the foreground of the video.&nbsp;</p>
