Amazing how on that small little planet there are these small little beings all living with both chaos and serenity all around them.

Unite lets not divide

Its amazing to watch in 1080P

Ahhhh, that was nice. Though there was some type of lava or something glowing all over the surface hmm, but the rest sure looks pretty.

This is fun and enjoyable to see!!! Very cool!!!

incredible. especially how visible lightning is from space (at least, I assume all those bright blue flashes to be lightening)

why learn from your own mistakes, when you could learn from the mistakes of others?

that was awesome definitely liked the lightning

If I were ET I would surely think, "Dang! I need to check this place out!"

wow! amazing!
AND
Light Pollution sure is beautiful.

I wonder what all the em from the lightning sounds like from a distant observer.

I can imagine them trying to decipher it into some kind of communication.

ALL the light you see in this image is WASTED energy... how many billions of dollars worth that could be used for cancer or aids research?

It's wasted energy because humans have no reason to point lights into the sky, humans need lights pointed at the ground.

Congrats! (humans have only themselves to blame)

It isn't wasted.

"It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." (Isaiah 40:22)

I am a leaf on the breeze. It was fun to fly in out space. The video was really enjoyable! LOVE the lightning too.

An orbital sunrise is always an amazing thing. It happens every 90 minutes.

@Freh

How is excessive light pollution not a waste of energy? Its a fact a lot of energy we use, especially in cities, is wasted in terms of too many lights, lights that put out too much light in certain directions, (like straight up)neon signs, etc. Those are total wastes of energy and contribute to how extremely bright certain places look.

yes i notice some very unusual anomalies in that clip. those flashing lights could be aliens.

That is kind of surreal to watch. It almost reminds me of bio luminescent dark mycelium filaments permeating a substrate. Viewed in that light, it is kind of beautiful. Looking at the light and heat, I can see a vast amount of energy dissipating in to space. I have been looking at night time maps of Colorado since I was a kid. It has been interesting and a little disturbing to watch as the main metro areas of Ft. Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs slowly merge together. In 20 years there will be no separation between the three cities.
