Before I write about some NASA things I would like everyone who reads this to please pray for my God-son, Blaise William Perryman, who remains in the NICU since last week. He is doing better than he did last week, but still needs some prayers. Thank you so much!!
I am going to share with you some pictures that were taken from the International Space Station (ISS). You may have already seen these but I thought they were really cool. The first two are of Houston early Sunday morning.
Houston early Sunday morning
So awesome!!
The next two are pictures of Aurora Borealis. My friend, Tess, explained it like this..you will see columns that extend through the ionosphere. They are caused by the solar wind being concentrated on Earth's magnetic field. This excites molecules in the atmosphere which is the green you are seeing. That green is actually "excited" oxygen. How cool is it that we can actually get these kinds of pictures!!!

Our world is such a mystery to us. Thanks to those who spend their time revolving around it, trying to help us here on Earth!!
