Flying Over the Earth at Night
Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night. A compilation of such visual spectacles was captured recently from the International Space Station (ISS) and set to rousing music. Passing below are white clouds, orange city lights, lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark blue seas. On the horizon is the golden haze of Earth's thin atmosphere, frequently decorated by dancing auroras as the video progresses. The green parts of auroras typically remain below the space station, but the station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks. Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges. The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs every 90 minutes.

Check out this snapshot of the modern golden age of animation; the staff of Tiny Toon Adventures, drawn by Bruce Timm in 1990. Timm and Paul Dini would, of course, go on to create Batman: The Animated Series and, subsequently, the DC Animated Universe, which is still going strong, and others in this crew would later work at Spumco, Pixar, and on The Simpsons.
