In September I posted a wonderful video of an animated orbit of the Earth, created from series of 600 photographs taken from the International Space Station, and available online at NASA's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of the Earth. Then, last month I posted a similarly created, quite otherworldly video which showed the aurorae as seen from space.

And now, this one is the grand-daddy of them all. Five minutes of pure, uncut wow, mainlined through your eyeballs:
