    Default Time-lapse video taken from the International Space Station



    Video shot from almost two hundred miles up from the International Space Station.

    You can see the lightning flashes associated with large thunderstorms as well as the Aurora Borealis.

    At two points (3:45 and 4:37) you can see what looks like a long orange river. Apparently it's the border between India and Pakistan which is now fenced and floodlit for 1156 miles of its length.

    That's one of the coolest things I've watched on the Internet. Thank you!

    God that's awesome.

    All of the lightning makes the planet look like such an inhospitable place.

    Watching this makes me want to play Mass Effect even more.

    Yeah, there are some basic mistakes in the simulation if you look at the stars in the background. Even in the opening image Orion's Belt appears upside down.

    Everything looks so close together from space. It's weird to think that the entirety of human history took place on that giant ball.

    My first thought was...Don't let George Lucas get any ideas.

    Second thought was...Thanks for sharing, that's pretty cool to look at.

    Thanks for the sig LCSF

    Makes you wonder what it's going to look like in a couple hundred years.

    That was definitely too cool for school, thanks for posting.
