Segment 1: NASA's Shuttle Discovery (STS131), while docked to the ISS, captured these images on April 12, 2010 as it moved from the night side of the Earth to the daytime. In the process the Aurora Borealis can be seen on the Earth's limb. A solar panel from the ISS and a docked Soyuz module can be seen in the foreground.

Segment 2: NASA's Shuttle Discovery (STS131), while docked to the ISS, captured these images on April 16, 2010. The sequence begins as the Shuttle emerges from darkness over the Canadian Rockies, traversing the United States southeast towards Florida. The Bahamas and Hispaniola are seen as the Shuttle continues over Venzuela, Brazil and finally the southern Atlantic ocean before returning to darkness.

  • @NASA and SOHO: Does anyone know what caused the major geomagnetic turbulences and high flux values (up to 150 nT) from July 19- 3.00 on (still continuing but decreasing) I wrote an email ro SOHO to ask whether there were any undetected CMEs on archived LASCO images- but as ever got no answer yet. Or was it the large Coronal hole CH466, which has not yet rotated fully out of earth influencing position? On 19 we had extreme heavy weather and all day long on 20th we had gaps in radiotransmissions.

  • amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Message from NASA: Um guys... The police officer says you're parked too close to the fire hydrant and that you need to back up another 5,000 miles and go around.

  • brilliant video some very interesting points

  • very interesting thanks

  • i enjoyed this vid

  • that was cool but i would like to see a time lapse of the space shuttle docking

  • @oxycodonez

    The reason you do not see stars in these videos is because the amount of light reflected off the earth far outshines the meager twinklings of distant suns. If the camera were to pan outwards, away from the light reflected off the earth, then you would see many stars. Hope this clears up the misconception and allows you to enjoy these amazing images.
