Nasa Astronomy Picture of the Day

Wonderful place to view the earth!

This is time-lapse photography of the ISS flying over the earth at night! Note the Aurora Borealis at one point and also the lightning in thunder storms passing under the ISS.

After viewing this one click on the blue hypertext "Discover The Cosmos!" to the upper left of the picture or video. There is a new picture or movie every day. Turn on the audio.

I would imagine most of the regulars on ATS have seen this clip before but the pale blue dot looks so amazing from the ISS that it is well worth watching the video now and again to appreciate just how astoundingly beautiful and fragile our little world really is in the grand scheme of things.
