German videographer Michael König has compiled a breathtaking HD video from footage shot from the International Space Station. The original video clips were created from a series of time-lapse stills of the Earth at night. They were shot with a Nikon D3S with 17-35mm F2.8 and 14-24mm F2.8 lenses.

I selected one of the clip, Aurora Australis 2, from the NASA website.
But be patient, even this clip only 26" long, but has size 10.9MB! It will take several mins to start the video! or you can go directly to NASA site to download it.

I think I never have chance to capture such kind of images(too old to travel in space! if any chance), but hope you guys like them!

The following videos have been created by the Crew Earth Observations team at Johnson Space Center from a series of still images taken onboard the International Space Station.

Aurora Australis 2

Video of the Aurora Australis taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. This sequence of shots was taken September 18, 2011 from 11:54:56 to 12:18:33 GMT, on an ascending pass from south of Australia in the Southern Pacific Ocean to the Northern Pacific Ocean, west of Central America. Moving lights can be seen several times throughout the video, and the most likely explanation is that these are satellites illuminated by the sun. The Milky Way can be clearly seen rotating slowly through the frames. The glow from the computer screens inside of the cabin is seen throughout the video near the solar panels.
