Explanation:
Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night.   
   
A compilation of such visual spectacles was    
captured recently    
from the    
International Space Station (ISS) and set to    
rousing music.   
   
Passing below are    
white clouds,    
orange city lights,    
lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark    
blue seas.    
   
On the horizon is the    
golden haze of Earth's thin atmosphere,    
frequently decorated by    
dancing auroras as the video progresses.   
    
The green parts of    
auroras typically remain below the space station, but the    
station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks.   
   
Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges.   
   
The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the    
dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs    
every 90 minutes.
