Happy People Dancing on Planet Earth

Original APOD · July 25, 2010

What are these humans doing? Dancing. Many humans on Earth exhibit periods of happiness, and one method of displaying happiness is dancing.

Happiness is frequently contagious -- few people are able to watch the above video without smiling.
