Kalau nak faham macam mana aurora tu terjadi, jom tengok video nie....

Nak simpan video dalam entri nie...daripada International Space Station (ISS) ketika krew ekpedisi diorang mengelilingi bumi selama 90 minit. Dapat tengok aurora warna merah dan hijau dalam video nie:

Explanation (taken from Astronomy Picture of the Day): 
What is it like to circle the Earth? Every 90 minutes, astronauts aboard the International Space Station experience just that. Recently, crew members took a series of light-sensitive videos looking down at night that have been digitally fused to produce the above time-lapse video. Many wonders of the land and sky are visible in the eighteen sequences, including red aurora above green aurora, lights from many major cities, and stars in the background. Looming at the top of the frame is usually part of the space station itself, sometimes seen re-orienting solar panels. Please help create a useful companion guide for this moving video by identifying landmarks, cities, countries, weather phenomena, and even background constellations that appear.
