Wow! It's a live stream from ISS!

Here's the home page which shows its current location. You won't see anything when it's on the dark side of the earth.

Thanks! Although I knew it already, but it is still unbeliveable to see ISS traveling at the speed of 27662km/h

By the way, I have a question:If ISS orbits the Earth with a period of about 2~3 hours, then won't the astronauts feel disoriented?Like scientists in the arctic circle when polar night occurs?It seems like ISS has a lot of windows and no special sleeping areas which have scheulded lighting

One orbit is actually 90 minutes.
