Amazing Time-lapse Video of Auroras as Seen From the ISS [Video]
This time-lapse video, created from a series of 345 images shot from the International Space Station, showcases Auroras in the upper atmosphere of the Earth in a way we never see them from way down here.

I was just poking around the Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth website and saw the series of images and said to myself ‘That is so bloody cool, I should turn that into a video like those guys did for the What does it feel like to fly over planet Earth video’.”
It’s quite a surreal show and, thanks to the miracle of space travel and technology, we get to watch it from the comfort of our desks.

AWESOME.
agreed
WOW. now if I could just make that my desktop background!
I was thinking the same thing! How can I download/save this!
open video with VLC.. one of the tabs has a screen shot saver… too easy…
MUCH TOO SHORT!
Me thinks:
Crop out the ISS
compress the video to iPhone 4 deimensions/format
and put it on cydia as a video background
Then
Everyone == WIN!
Aurora lays her spores!
