Earth from the space station

[CSORuger]

We're 99% certain this is the most beautiful footage of Earth's auroras yet recorded

The blog io9 has posted a video of time lapse sequences taken from the International Space Station by the crews of Expeditions 28 and 29, from August-October of this year. The footage provides some of the most spectacular views of Earth's auroras ever seen, as well as breathtaking shots of lighted cities as they passed below the ISS. Check it out at io9.com.

I can't believe how many lights you can see. I'm surprised it is that densely populated. We have really changed the face of the Earth
