Explanation:
Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night.
A compilation of such visual spectacles was
captured recently
from the
International Space Station (ISS) and set to
rousing music.
Passing below are
white clouds,
orange city lights,
lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark
blue seas.
On the horizon is the
golden haze of Earth's thin atmosphere,
frequently decorated by
dancing auroras as the video progresses.
The green parts of
auroras typically remain below the space station, but the
station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks.
Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges.
The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the
dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs
every 90 minutes.
