If you liked the Civ IV "dawn of civilization" animation, watch a Non-CGI version!

Live action, NOT CGI, taken from the International Space Station!


Link to video.

Aurora Borealis, lightning, light from cities ... it reminded me a bit of the Civ IV intro, but even more awesome because its not CGI!

Also fantastic video. Seeing how bright cities are from space makes me amazed that I can see any stars at night when I'm downtown.

I think this was taken by JSA with a special developed camera for filming at extremely low light.

Pretty nice, too bad there doesn't seem to be a higher quality vid available.

1080 is too low?

I've never met a 1080 snob before

I wonder where the green flare comes from.

Aurora Borealis, isn't it?

That was so much more epic watching it with Baba Yetu playing in the background instead of the original music of the video.

And this is why I like this planet.
