Incredible Earth-at-night time-lapse video from ISS




This video on YouTube is a time-lapse video of Earth at night as shot from the International Space Station (ISS). You can see all of the lights on Earth as well as storms with lightning that are fairly spectacular. The way the atmosphere lights up as well is impressive. Near the end you get to see the Aurora Australis, like the "Northern Lights" for those of us above the equator, illuminated over the Southern Hemisphere.

In addition, and possibly just as important to the feelings inspired from the video, the music score is *very* powerful and moving. I have to find out who did it and try to download it.

Just noticed this line in the video comments (which have great details on this piece):
**Music: 'Freedom Fighters' by Two Steps from Hell**
