Check out this video of the Intl space station (ISS) in close orbit around the Earth. Especially the auroras dancing on the top of the atmosphere and the lightening. Amazing.

I loved it as a whole but really really loved the lightning flashes and the auroras!

I really liked figuring out what country or geographical area it was over. Identified Florida in a few segments.

Yeah, ditto. I also figured out Italy and central Europe. You can tell where middle-east is in that same shot b/c of the huge land mass and few lights/cities.

excellent video!
