Just in case you missed this post...

Like the name says, possibly the best video created by ISS astronauts. The 
part that impressed me the most was the views of Aurora from ABOVE looking 
down!

Don't miss the link that is also mentioned there...

This "Gateway to Astronaut Photography of the Earth" includes links to many 
other crew videos, including a number of passes showing the Northern Lights 
(Aurora Borealis) and the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis). Many of the 
videos were posted in January 2012 and February 2012, so they are quite 
timely.

I know, slighty off-topic, as it is not about Amateur Radio per se, but I 
figured that the tie-in with the club name (NLRS) was good enough to 
warrant it, particularly in view of the spectacular imagery...
