Wow. Look at this. This is a picture that was snapped by one of the astronauts on the ISS. I know you've probably heard of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), but this is a picture of the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights).

From NASA:

These ever-shifting displays of colored ribbons, curtains, rays, and spots are most visible near the North (aurora borealis) and South (aurora australis) Poles as charged particles streaming from the Sun (the solar wind) interact with Earth's magnetic field, resulting in collisions with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen in the upper atmosphere. The atoms are excited by these collisions, and typically emit photons as a means of returning to their original energy state. The photons form the aurora that we see. The most commonly observed color of aurora is green, caused by photons (light) emitted by excited oxygen atoms at wavelengths centered at 0.558 micrometers, or millionths of a meter [...]

While aurora are generally only visible close to the poles, severe magnetic storms impacting the Earth's magnetic field can shift them towards the equator. This striking aurora image was taken during a geomagnetic storm that was most likely caused by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun on May 24, 2010. The ISS was located over the Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 km, with the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not visible) and the South Pole

that

is

sick.

Isn't it? It's like the Death Star tried to fire at the Earth and we somehow warped the ray around our planet to make it miss. LoL

the death star cant kill chuck norris..... it only makes him giggle as hedeflects it with a round house kick

This isn't nature... this is DC's newest marketing campaign for the Green Lantern movie coming out. If you look closely you'll see Abin Sur's spaceship crashing.

this is DC's newest marketing campaign

What am I getting blamed for here?

Hot. I like space.

bumpin

thats pretty sweet

That is just incredible...

wow, you actually made me go back and look for a space ship.

Awesome. I added that image to my backgrounds for my lappy.
