- vroom101, on 03/23/2008, -0/+17More info about the photo: "STS123-E-008018 (21 March 2008) --- While docked and onboard the International Space Station, a STS-123 Endeavour crewmember captured the glowing green beauty of the Aurora Borealis. Looking northward across the Gulf of Alaska, over a low pressure area (cloud vortex), the aurora brightens the night sky. This image was taken on March 21, 2008 at 09:08:46 (GMT) with a 28 mm lens from the nadir point of 47.9 degrees north latitude and 146.8 degreees west longitude."

- ahawks, on 03/23/2008, -0/+8Well everyone already beat me to the punch... but seriously, all those nice fancy cameras on board and they took this one with a camera phone?
- inactive, on 03/23/2008, -0/+8You would think NASA astronauts would have a better camera on board...
- inactive, on 03/23/2008, -6/+13Not Photoshoped. Nasa even put a video of it on the NASA Youtube channel.

- fugeelama, on 03/23/2008, -6/+13http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2377/1813877306_0ae ...
- synyster, on 03/24/2008, -2/+8technically incorrect, us and a is not the only country can send people to space.
- tolbs, on 03/23/2008, -1/+7agreed, need a higher res pic :).
- MrThirsty, on 03/24/2008, -0/+6Honestly....did you have to use uuiU?

- Moosejoose, on 03/23/2008, -1/+6Why the hell is DLuckyE getting buried and the guy two comments down getting dug up?
- Zaeboes, on 03/24/2008, -1/+6In Soviet Russia, space shuttles fork you!
- inactive, on 03/23/2008, -2/+6I've posted this already but
http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/218971main_s123 ... - usingpond, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4NASA couldn't afford a higher-resolution picture?
- Existenz87, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4I want to be an astronaut someday.....after I get out of my parent's basement.
- noseeme, on 03/24/2008, -2/+6If you want to become an astronaut for NASA.
- Rapter09, on 03/23/2008, -0/+4They should have used that giant space camera that they use to take pictures of the ISS to take a picture of this. Pity its so small. Looks beautiful.
- sonicularulus, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3looks like an attempt to flood the earth with kryptonite to kill the last man of krypton...
- inactive, on 03/24/2008, -2/+5Please go ahead and try find me a single astro/cosmo/chinko/whatevernaut that can't speak English.
- inactive, on 03/23/2008, -2/+5Perfect wallpaper for my 2560x1600 res.screen. =D
- sharkd, on 03/24/2008, -2/+5Not pixelated, noisy. The exposure was set at a very high ISO due to the limited light available and the extremely high shutter speed necessitated by the velocity of the shuttle.
- rockhunter, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Here is one of Aurora Australis from space and several of Aurora Borealis from the ground.
http://geology.com/nasa/aurora-borealis.shtml - RadiatedAnt, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Nothing related to this article but...The Japanese get there freak on in alaska because of this, supposedly the child will be uber smart and blessed if it was made under the borealis.

- inactive, on 03/23/2008, -0/+2or this for the gallery
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlem ... - OneLess, on 03/23/2008, -1/+3It's high ***** time that people learn that a photoshopping joke is not obligatory on ever single image article. It was funny the first time, it's old now, let it die. No one is going to digg you up, it's not going to convince anyone that you're clever, and Digg as a whole is worse off for it. Stop.
- almj, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2is ***** a noun or verb in that sentence?
