Aurora Borealis Pass Over The United States At Night ISS

Courtesy: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. "The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth."

This video of the United States at night and the Aurora Borealis was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. This sequence of shots was taken September 29, 2011 from 07:58:04 to 08:09:47 GMT, on an ascending pass from southwestern United States up to southeastern Quebec. The outline of the Michigan peninsula can be clearly seen approximately halfway through the video, with well-known cities like Chicago standing out well. The haze seen over the bright lights on the surface are likely night time clouds over the area. Near the end of the video, the Aurora Borealis over eastern Canada can be seen until the sunrise in the east slowly comes out.

THUMBS UP FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

Is that what we looks like from space at the dark side, like a bunch of lights, looking like a virus.

What shuttle is ISS?

Wish if there would be 10 minute flight, this is too fast...

@Latvietis96 You don't have to be the best at math to become a pilot. Most of the time it's simple math. Ignore her.

NICE

I know this is from the ISS, but it seems like its from a plane. Truly remarkable!!!!

@Latvietis96 I think a teacher told Thomas Edison something similar. He ignored them, strove to succeed regardless, and look where that got him. :)

@Latvietis96 Math to be a pilot? Pilots do use math, but not anything even close to what engineers use.
