Aurora Borealis from the ISS


This video was made from stills taken by Don­ald R. Pet­tit dur­ing his stay at the Inter­na­tional Space Sta­tion in 2003. I can’t help, but feel moved when I watch this. You can see so much, the many stars in the back­ground, the lights, man. It is real. It is really hap­pen­ing. This is outer space. This is the Earth’s atmosphere.

  • There is so much that hap­pens, seem­ingly almost auto­mat­i­cally, Matthew.And the rest of us have no way of under­stand­ing it, since we do not even notice most of it.It can make us feel really most most small when it        finally .……                               .….….….…..  is brought to our attention.thank you.

  • Sorry, Matthew.I did not real­ize that the for­mat­ting would not mat­ter in the way I had intended.Oh well.
