I was just mesmerized by the amazing quality of the camera! Also, same thing happens when I see those timelapses of the stars when the camera stays in the same position, reminds me of last year when I used to play minecraft :). Sure, the lights are cool, I guess…

Just got a little further in the video, two things, noticed the kelvin of the light, and the aurora borealis(i think that’s what the green light is) was the coolest light I’ve ever seen. It was even better than the stars thing!

For those of us who like to stare up at night, here is a link to passing satellites including the ISS that can be viewed overhead every night. Simply plug in your location and you are sure to see something passing by, unless it’s cloudy.

That was cool. Thanks for the link. I've never seen an Aurora Borealis in person, hope to some day.

Amazing !!

If you’ve watched Sunshine you’ll recognize something. Great movie btw

Indeed. That awesome piece has forever been characterized by that interesting movie (for us, anyway).

Overclocker and cainn, mind to share? :P

Awesome video. Its insane how much light we emit. (not us flashies, the whole world)..

Simply mesmerizing! 8)

The music.

To elaborate, the music in this video was also featured in parts of the sci-fi movie Sunshine.

Nice little flick if you’re into the eerie sci-fi/thriller genre.

great links guys.

I'd say this is about one of the highest ranked in my all time high list. (in the back of my head).

Some random others were these ( I rarely mark favorites anyway):

The known universe:

Peregrine falcon (240mph)

Extreme offroad. Places that Vityaz is pulling stuff out are Hopeless, absolutely hopeless.

I used to work harvesting peat at drought swamps in youth, driving tractors etc. Could have used one of those in rainy summers...

Powerline inspector, a classic:

Fast...

...Men always give up... I will NEVER give up!!!
