The Northern Lights Time-Lapse in 3D

I recently finished making a time-lapse video of the northern lights from the international space station ... in 3D! I think that it may be the first of its kind so I'm pretty excited about it. Please select the high definition version so that you can see the stars in the background. You will need 3D glasses to see the full 3D effect (bought some I can mail to you if you need).



You see this like no other human ever has, not even the astronauts who photographed it. You view it as if you are a proportionally average human over 100 miles tall (about halfway to the space station's orbit).
See more information about how it was made, etc. here: http://jonathan.lansey.net/pastimes/3D_Aurora/index.html

Below you can see an example image with the Canny edge detector highlighting I used set be much brighter.

Below are a few more screenshot examples. Please let me know if you would like to use them somewhere (blog comment would be fine).
