The Low Seas
(The 126ers)
Explanation:
Recorded during 2017, timelapse sequences from the
International Space Station are compiled in this
serene
video of planet Earth at Night.
Fans of low Earth orbit can start by enjoying the view as
green and red aurora borealis
slather up the sky.
The night scene tracks from northwest to southeast across North America,
toward the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida coast.
A second sequence follows European city lights, crosses
the Mediterranean Sea, and passes over a bright Nile river
in northern Africa.
Seen from the orbital outpost, erratic flashes of lightning appear
in thunder storms below and stars rise above the planet's curved
horizon through a faint
atmospheric airglow.
Of course, from home you can always check out the
vital
signs of Planet Earth Now.
