The International Space Station (ISS) orbits Earth at an altitude of about 250 miles (400 kilometers). This means that the ISS can see most of the Earth at night. The lights from cities and towns create a beautiful spectacle that is often referred to as the "Earth's city lights." The ISS can also see the aurora borealis, or northern lights, and the aurora australis, or southern lights. These are natural light displays that are caused by the interaction of solar wind with Earth's magnetic field. The view of Earth from the ISS is truly awe-inspiring. It is a reminder of how small and fragile our planet is, and how important it is to protect it.

Wonder if it moves that quickly or is the video sped up? 🤔

This is fake. First, whatever is scrolling across the surface is going extremely fast of the velocity of the Earth’s rotation is extremely fast. The clouds are not in sync with the rotation. Second, there are clouds everywhere. Where are these coming from because clouds carry moisture? There a few clouds over the water. Third, the orange lights are what. Volcanic rock? Lights of the city? What? It can’t be lights from the city because the Lumes are excessively bright at the distance from the satellite or whatever the scrolling object is. That would mean that whereever these orange lights are that place is bright as the day. When zooming in, that’s not the view I get. Those are just the starting questions.

I’m looking at this again and realize that it’s a video. CGI.
