Aurora Borealis And Eastern United States At Night (ISS)

This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken October 18, 2011 from 07:09:06 to 07:27:42 GMT, on a pass from just south of Alaska to eastern Cuba. The camera used for this imagery was north-facing, so the Aurora Borealis stay visible throughout the video. Lights from southern Canada show up before passing into central North America. Through the clouds, the peninsula of Michigan can be seen, with Chicago brightly lit at the south end of Lake Michigan. A few lightning storms can be seen in the large cloud mass over the Central United States. Finally, many large cities can be seen on the East Coast of the United States, including Atlanta, Georgia. Near the end of the video, the eastern half of the Florida peninsula can be seen, as well as the lighter shallow waters of the Bahamas.

"Attention passengers, this is your Captain speaking. Due to the ongoing solar CME interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, our trans-Venus injection has been delayed for one orbit. The Grinspoon Clipper's expected time of arrival at the Aphrodite Terra cloud city and terraforming station should be 6 hours and 20 minutes from now. Complimentary refreshments are available while we wait for our next trans-Venus injection window. Please sit back, relax, and enjoy the view."

An Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

[Muraz72]

@MrAJgallant I just don't see a point in arguing when I look at others. Anyway, isn't the sight beautifuL? Im happy you said that the way you did, I like your emotion and energy!

[MrAJgallant]

[Muraz72]

lOL I keed I keed, awesome video! It looks animationed

[Muraz72]

@MrAJgallant I don't agree with your life, ARGUE WITH THAT BITCH.

[MrAJgallant]

@ndzapruder sorry, im finding it hard to argue now, because your previous comment, well at least the last sentence, i totally agree with. However, im not sure why u would say earth was gods creation if u are an atheist.

[ndzapruder]

@MrAJgallant Speaking from personal experience, generally, it mimics everything about a faith. For most atheists, it's not hyperbole to call their lack of faith a faith in itself. And no tricks. I'm an atheist myself, but you'd never know it if you met me. Live and let live. The universe doesn't care what you believe.
