Filmed from the International Space Station, this totes amazeballs video shows the aurora borealis merging into a sunrise.
The Washington Post gives more details:
NASA astronaut Barry “Butch” Wilmore captured this humbling view of East Coast lights as the sun was just beginning to creep above the horizon earlier this week. The faint, blue glow of the sun’s rays passing through our atmosphere can be seen on the right, mirrored by a beautiful, green aurora on the left.
Washington, D.C., Baltimore, New York City, and Boston can be seen whizzing by. A thin layer of mid-level clouds blurs city lights over parts of the Northeast.

Ahem.
You beat me to it!
So totes amazeballs is acceptable? What about wootsauce?
Srsly? Do people not realize that I was MOCKING the use of those words? Oy!
Made me lol! For reelz! (I hate when people use ‘lol’, but I really did lol!)
Don’t worry Jerry, we don’t think you’ve gone to the dark side! I don’t want to speak for the others, but I’m sure they recognized what you were doing just as well as I did! 😀
How ’bout, “Super amazing totes amazing amazing amazeballs amazingly amazing amazing amazing”? It’s not got much amazing in it.

Thumbs up for the solid Monty Python reference there!!
Well they are canonically followed by ‘ . . . and I’m not even joking . . . ‘
It’s too late. I took an extension on a paper as an opportunity to revise “totes amazeballs” into it four times and am currently looking for a fifth place to insert this new, Professor Ceiling Cat approved phrase.
I hope it was because you enjoyed my “totes amazeballs” comment on the other thread. I aim to entertain. 🙂
It always starts as ironic mocking and then moves on to using those words for real.
As a sequal, Tote Kill Amazeballs Mockingbird.
Dude…. totes amazeballs is just awesome
With Jerry around, do we really have to worry about running out of superlatives like ‘amazing’?
Totes amazeballs? Heck, it’s hella awesome-sauce!
Ha ha I just wrote “heck.” This is what happens when oldsters try to be hip. I remember when my dad, who was born in 1925, said my model airplane hobby was a “swell bag.” Did not realize I was gazing into my destiny.
Hecate?
The goddess of the crossroads! Perhaps; who knows what the Hecate is about!
Jeepers:-)
Hella awesomesauce. :)I also like n00bsauce.
That’s absolutely gorgeous. There’s an amazing video from astronaut Ron Garan where he and his crew on the ISS took time lapsed photos while orbiting the earth on last time before touching down. It’s serenity supreme. I watch it to gain perspective. I have the link in my blog over here – http://orderofthegoodwrite.com/2015/02/04/reality-check-the-world-is-big-and-we-are-small/
I totes agree with ya! freekin aweballs
What can I say…that hasn’t already been said? Wicked!
It’s gorgeous, but why is it humbling?
BTW if that is covered by ‘totes amazeballs’, please ignore. Once again, this out-of-it expatriate has no idea what that means.
Beautiful! I want to see aurora again! It’s always cloudy here when we have a CME!
Yay! Baltimore!
Is that sequence time-lapse or real-time?
I’m sure it’s time lapse.
The aurora/sunrise segue is wonderful!
Those city lights–not so much!
Yes – my first thought was doesn’t anyone on the east coast have a light switch…?!
Sick!
(I have a very new colleague who uses this one a lot. Don’t even care if it’s ‘ironic’, it’s going to get old fast)
