Aurora Borealis from the ISS

This video was made from stills taken by Donald R. Pettit during his stay at the International Space Station in 2003. I can’t help, but feel moved when I watch this. You can see so much, the many stars in the background, the lights, man. It is real. It is really happening. This is outer space. This is the Earth’s atmosphere.

    There is so much that happens, seemingly almost automatically, Matthew.And the rest of us have no way of understanding it, since we do not even notice most of it.It can make us feel really most most small when it        finally …….                               ………………  is brought to our attention.thank you.

    Sorry, Matthew.I did not realize that the formatting would not matter in the way I had intended.Oh well.
