Footage made from the International Space Station (ISS) and released online shows how the Moon slowly approaches the horizon of the Earth and then vanishes.

Oleg Artemyev, who is currently one of the space crew members on the ISS, has published a breathtaking video of the moonset.

"Like a heart's beating," Artemyev said, commenting on the moving satellite. "Now a little more and it will reach the atmosphere."

The video features a stunning view of how the Moon slowly "disappears" behind the bluish, gaseous envelope around the Earth without "touching" its edge.

In late December, NASA released a video consisting of over 60 photos taken by the Cassini spacecraft during its 13-year mission to Saturn, featuring the planet performing a "ballet" set to famous Russian ballet music.

The clip called "Saturn Moon Ballet" and posted on NASA's official Twitter account, is divided into five acts, in which Saturn's Moons are moving swiftly along the planet's rings.
