This epic time lapse video has been pinging around the Internet all day, and, well, you need to watch it. It's easily the most psyhadelic, face-melting video you'll watch today.
From August to October 2011, the folks aboard the International Space Station captured over 18 sets of stunning low-light photographs. A video editor by the name of Michael König spliced thousands and thousands of brilliant photos together into an incredible five minute HD experience. The view of the North and Southern Lights from 240-miles up is breathtaking. Also, note the occasional lightening flash. It seems like it'd be an appropriate video for a Grateful Dead/Pink Floyd/Pretty Lights song. Just sit back, turn on full screen, and enjoy.
