Earth Time Lapse View from Space

A beautiful time-lapse capturing the Northern (aurora borealis) and Southern (aurora australis) lights along with illuminated cities and sparks of thunderstorms all from low orbit in space.  You see this and realize special effects have nothing on reality.  If possible watch this in HD.

Filmed from the International Space Station by Ron Garan.  Michael König cleaned up the images without altering the colors or imagery. Music by Jan Jelinek.  Visit Vimeo for more information including the locations filmed here.
