Explanation: Recorded during 2017, timelapse sequences from the International Space Station are compiled in this serene video of planet Earth at Night. Fans of low Earth orbit can start by enjoying the view as green and red aurora borealis slather up the sky. The night scene tracks from northwest to southeast across North America, toward the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida coast. A second sequence follows European city lights, crosses the Mediterranean Sea, and passes over a bright Nile river in northern Africa. Seen from the orbital outpost, erratic flashes of lightning appear in thunder storms below and stars rise above the planet's curved horizon through a faint atmospheric airglow. Of course, from home you can always check out the vital signs of Planet Earth Now.
The picture was just beautiful. It’s too bad you couldn’t post in on this thread.
I have researched and have not found how to post a video to a thread.
The above post from HTML Sandbox says FR can do GIFs, but not videos. I knew this because I wanted to do this, and found out I couldn't.
C. VIDEOS Sorry, FR does not support embedding videos. The best we have are GIFs, those short videos which last several seconds and then repeat endlessly.
That is so cool, wouldn’t it be amazing to see it in person…
