Breathtaking time lapse sequences of photographs shot from the International Space Station. It's amazing how well the cameras pick up the light of the cities below. The world looks like a living organism. Almost surreal: the northern lights. |
In northern latitudes, this spectacular and colorful light effect is known as the 'aurora borealis' named by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas.
The southern lights are called 'aurora australis'. |
