Really badass Aurora video from NASA as the ISS follows a pass from Madagascar to Australia over the Indian Ocean.

This sequence of shots was taken September 17, 2011 from 17:22:27 to 17:45:12 GMT,
Be a hoot to be up there taking my own photos/video.
Even though that is top down, it almost makes me homesick for the Great White North. I've seen dozens of auroral displays in my life, and they are gorgeous.
Beam me up, Scotty...Quote:

Wow. Now a screen capture of one of those shots would make a fantastic QSL card background!Quote:

That was his function on the show. Evil comic relief and constant trouble-maker.Quote:
