Oh, oh. Better use LINUX.
Very nice but what is that green aurora kind of thing? Is the video completely real or is it animated?
The green belt that you see in the video is/are the northern and/or southern lights. And yes, the video is real. It's not an animation, I believe. It's a compilation of video taken from over a number of days from the ISS.
With respect to your latitude, you can see the norther lights or southern lights during the night time. I used to see them just about every night when I was up north. They are not always green, though that is the predominant color. There are times when the auroras can be blood-red in color.

looks like a cgi animation pretending to be a video composed from multiple still images (time-lapse photography)
some problems:
- way too saturated colors
- way too clean/focused/uninterrupted image-flow
- way too uniform stars movement
- don't like the earth curvature (too sharp), earth seems too small
- earth lights seem too abundant/strong
- the atmosphere, clouds & earth surface texture seem too flat
- way too much light during nighttime
- too conveniently localized & uniform storms
- don't like the look of auroras (color uniformity, size, disproportion compared to the surrounding atmospheric layer, looks glued onto a layer above the surface)
conclusion: likely fake eye candy...as usual coming from the nasa illusionists
