  • Thats so on another level of cool

  • I captured a still shot, on july 29, 2011, from the CHFT web-cam clouds which looks EXACTLY like the one FEATURED in your VIDEO. I was researching my picture. When I found this video. Is this a RARE capture from Earth? Or are they common, on Earth? I could show you, if asked?

  • Follow him on twitter @Astro_Ron for amazing daily pics tweeted of our home from space, he recently has some AMAZING hurricane pics up

  • Awesome pic and great video!!!! I would just love to go to the ISS!!!!!! How lucky these people are who are there.
