I thought I'd post this here instead of in the Space sub-forum for those who never go there. This time lapse video was taken as the ISS passed over the U.S. at night on April 17, 2017. Lighting can be seen flashing below while what are probably satellites can be seen speeding by against the background of stars.

The video was published yesterday and shown in the space.com website. Lightning and Mystery Objects Spotted by Space Station (Video)

Enjoy!

I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. It's a pretty amazing sight and something people a hundred years ago couldn't have imagined.

NASA has great images / information... best viewed with a child or grandchild on your lap.. so you can share your information and knowledge with them...
NASA has everything and anything involved in Space... Just Google NASA

https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/s...ges/index.html <<< all images are interactive... just click on them

One item I do miss after 25+ years at the Space Center in Florida. The stunning beauty of what's above are heads.. especially at night..
