Explanation:
What is it
like to circle the Earth?
Every 90 minutes, astronauts aboard the
International Space Station
experience just that.
Recently, crew members took a series
of light-sensitive videos looking down at night that have been digitally fused to
produce the
above time-lapse video.
Many wonders of the land and sky are visible in the eighteen sequences, including
red aurora above
green aurora, lights from many major cities, and stars in the background.
Looming at the top of the frame is usually part of the space station itself, sometimes
seen re-orienting
solar panels.
Please help create a useful companion guide for this moving video by
identifying landmarks, cities, countries, weather phenomena, and even background
constellations that appear.
