That first video makes our planet look so alien and magnificent (it looks magnificent anyway, but that one makes it look **alien** and magnificent). Those lightnings! Those mamatus clouds!

And I really loved "7 ways to maximize your misery," too--the video maker was right: it's more amusing and somehow more effective to do it that way than by focusing on happiness.

... And poor aurora named Steve. I don't mean to slight you! You, too, are magnificent, but you were a still picture and the other stuff was moving, so...
