Aurora, Stars and City Lights from Space 🚀
The green of the Aurora Borealis electrical discharges, the bright white of electric lights in metropolitan areas, occasional flashes of lightning, the pale illumination of the space station and its transport vehicle, and of course the stars at night (seldom seen in ordinary photographs).
This is a collection of high-resolution electronic still photographs that have been sequenced into a time-lapse sequence moving much faster than real time.
Taken from the International Space Station - Expedition 30 - 13 April 2012
There is no sound in space.
