The Aurora Borealis


What do you get when you take still pictures of the Aurora Borealis moving in the atmosphere from orbit, animate the pictures by running them one after another, and then combining it with nice background music? I know now. I found this video on YouTube and here is the description.

Astronaut Don Pettit created an astounding video using a sequence of still images he shot of the aurora borealis from the International Space Station.
