Remember the amazing night-time timelapse video that James Drake stitched together from space station photos? Well, he’s gone back through the astronaut photographs and create six more videos. They’re shorter… but they’re AMAZING. Daytime, night time, auroras, it’s all there. Check them out.

Yeah.. got my filings tingling even from here!
I wonder what Nicoli Tesla would do about it – given today’s science and understanding? Perhaps he would suggest building a method of collection for re-distribution and use? say to power interplanetary probes? BUZZZ- ZAP!
I’ve often wondered about how the auroras would look from space.
Thanks Farzier for posting those beautiful.. and mind blowing images! Also thanks to James Drake – keep on creating those great views! NICE!
