Flying Over Earth at Night: March 31 2013
This APOD posting is a video taken using the International Space Station (ISS). Music credit goes to the Freedom Fighters, whose song "Two Steps from Hell" is featured in the video. Clouds, land masses, and oceans can clearly be seen, dotted with city lights and frequent lightning flashes. It is interesting to note that the W coast of Florida is particularly bright compared to other areas with the highest concentration of light pollution seen from the Tampa and Sarasota area. The atmosphere is seen as a "golden haze" along the top of the Earth. Also, green and red auroras can be seen throughout the film. The ending of the video features the increasing sunlight at dawn.
