Cool video of Christmas eve on earth from space.


One of the most enjoyable parts of Santa's job must be to see the world from on high on Christmas Eve — but thanks to the astronauts on the International Space Station, we can get a similar view on video. Over the past year, the space station's night flights have produced some fantastic pictures of city lights and auroral displays. This video puts together some of the latest clips posted to NASA's Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/Videos/CrewEarthObservationsVideos/).
You're actually looking at five time-lapse clips, strung together for a west-to-east journey
