      Explanation: Recorded during 2017, timelapse sequences from the   
      International Space Station are compiled in this serene video of planet   
      Earth at Night. Fans of low Earth orbit can start by enjoying the view   
      as green and red aurora borealis slather up the sky. The night scene   
      tracks from northwest to southeast across North America, toward the   
      Gulf of Mexico and the Florida coast. A second sequence follows   
      European city lights, crosses the Mediterranean Sea, and passes over a   
      bright Nile river in northern Africa. Seen from the orbital outpost,   
      erratic flashes of lightning appear in thunder storms below and stars   
      rise above the planet's curved horizon through a faint atmospheric   
      airglow. Of course, from home you can always check out the vital signs   
      of Planet Earth Now.
