Return to Fragile Oasis

Just to think, this isn't a animated video. This video shows the real beauty of the earth.

amazing & breathtaking... As a scientist, i would give up so much to just be at that altitude for even a minute... Dreams will remain dreams I guess... Unless commercial space becomes "affordable" (like the price of an expensive car) in my lifetime. Being almost 25, I doubt I will see this happen before I turn an old man...

By God, we live on such a beautiful planet!

[AuroraFrost]

This is the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time.  Thank you, NASA. I am proud to be a scientist because without science, this beauty could have never been seen.

@AVMamfortas I think that's called "lack of a soul" in academic circles.

is hard to imagine that in space there just miles away from earth, there is no boundaries,frontiers,governors­,presidents etc... that put a price on something! in space we are free and able to do anything we want without war, poor earth :/ i wish everybody would think it trough and stop wars and take care of this good and beautiful earth we have life in!

What are those bright flashes? Not the Auroras, but the white flashes. Are those gamma ray bursts or something?

[PeRan1005]

@DTHRocket It's lightning :) You don't see GRB (gamma ray burst) unless you have extraordinary conditions, like a supernova or a black hole.

[rockaddict139]

@DTHRocket

If you are talking about the flashes on the clouds, I think they're lighting storms

[DTHRocket]

@DTHRocket Oh duh, that would explain why there are concentrated clusters of them.

[avecygnus]

nice indeed!

[Brommes]

Nice choice of music too .

[TheTrancemaster90]

[TheTrancemaster90]

[doc11282]

[BusinessIDBAI]

Its a shame NASA videos get less views than videos about the illuminati... What the hell is wrong with the world?
