New images of the Northern lights, or Aurora Borealis, have been captured by NASA using a new time-lapse photographic technique. By combining hundreds of stills taken from the International Space Station, they have produced the first 'moving' images of the spectacle. NASA Earth Scientist Melissa Dawson explains how she happened on the technique almost by accident, when looking over other material from the ISS Look here to view Source:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16974948
I saw this a wee while back when you posted the ISS flyover links and I traced them back to NASA, these or very similar shots were on the NASA site. What I found very interesting was that at about 24 seconds a comet appears over the horizon, so I am not sure that these time lapse sequences are all that new, the comet is quite spectacular and I would have expected that to be in the news and pretty big in the news at that. However the low light performance is suggestive of Nikon's top of the range full frame gear (NASA generally use Nikon kit) so that puts it in the time frame of the last 3.5 years It is a beautiful sequence though!
Stunning One of my ambitions is to see the northern lights...the only drawback is the thought of heading further north into colder climes
