This is our planet: the earth as seen from the space station

The deafening silence on this morning’s nerdwar post suggests I may have overestimated your hunger for geek arcania on a Friday. Sorry. To make up for it, here’s a weekend, glass of wine and chillax video. The earth, seen from the space station. Put it on full screen, get out the headphones for a suitably astral soundtrack and pay particular attention to lightning storms and auroras (aurorae? if only I’d done Latin). It gets better as you go in.  [h/t Alex Evans. And NASA.]

    I didn’t know the Earth had a soundtrack too. (Or that it was such a rubbish one….).
