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.

说明: 这部呈现夜间地球景观的静谧影片，剪辑自国际太空站在2017年拍摄的一些缩时影像系列。喜爱低地球轨道影像的读者，在影片开头时，可见到满天的绿色和红色北极光。然后随着太空站从西北向东南飞，沿途可见到北美州、墨西哥湾和佛罗里达海岸的夜间景观。在影片的第二部分，会见到欧洲都市的灯火，飞越地中海和北非明亮的尼罗河。此外，在这座地球轨道上的前哨站，还可见到源自下方雷暴系统闪电的短暂亮闪，以及从地球弯曲地平线上方气辉中升起的恒星。如今端坐在家中的你，可随时上网观看地球的主要活动。

庆祝：地球日
