FROM THE CANADARM2 ROBOTIC ARM.

8
00:00:17,386 --> 00:00:21,006
THE VEHICLE WAS PACKED WITH
MORE THAN 6,200 POUNDS OF TRASH

AND OTHER ITEMS FOR DISPOSAL,

10
00:00:23,126 --> 00:00:25,706
MAKING IT THE HEAVIEST
CYGNUS EVER RELEASED.

11
00:00:25,846 --> 00:00:28,066
THE MISSION WASN'T
QUITE OVER YET THOUGH,

12
00:00:28,066 --> 00:00:30,556
WITH CYGNUS RELEASING
14 CUBESATS

13
00:00:30,556 --> 00:00:33,436
INTO EARTH ORBIT JUST A
FEW HOURS AFTER DEPARTURE.

14
00:00:33,836 --> 00:00:36,956
THE SPACECRAFT IS SCHEDULED
TO FIRE ITS ENGINES AND PLUNGE

15
00:00:36,956 --> 00:00:38,056
INTO EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE

16
00:00:38,106 --> 00:00:41,066

REENTY ON DECEMBER 18.

17
00:00:42,096 --> 00:00:45,226
AND THIS WEEK, STATION
ASTRONAUTS GOT A HARROWING VIEW

18
00:00:45,226 --> 00:00:48,936
OF FIRES BURNING 250
MILES BENEATH THEM.

19
00:00:48,936 --> 00:00:52,816
EXPEDITION 53 ASTRONAUTS ABOARD
THE STATION TOOK THESE PHOTOS

20
00:00:52,816 --> 00:00:55,816
OF THE CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES
BURNING JUST OUTSIDE

21

OF LOS ANGELES.

22
00:00:57,026 --> 00:00:59,566
THE STATION OFFERS AN
UNIQUE VANTAGE POINT

23
00:00:59,566 --> 00:01:03,056

29
00:01:14,826 --> 00:01:16,876
GREAT QUESTION, AND LIKE
WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT,

30
00:01:16,956 --> 00:01:17,716
YOU SURE CAN.

31
00:01:18,096 --> 00:01:18,546
WHY DON'T WE SEE

32
00:01:18,546 --> 00:01:20,496
IF OUR ASTRONAUTS SAW
ANYTHING RECENTLY...

33
00:01:20,766 --> 00:01:22,946
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY DID.

34
00:01:23,226 --> 00:01:26,496
RANDY BRESNIK RECENTLY SHARED

ACROSS CHINA, KOREA AND JAPAN.

36
00:01:29,136 --> 00:01:31,296
AS YOU CAN SEE, FLASHES
OF LIGHTNING LIGHT

37
00:01:31,296 --> 00:01:33,816
UP THE EARTH BELOW WHILE
THE STATION FLIES OVERHEAD

38
00:01:33,816 --> 00:01:36,606
AT 17,500 MPH.

39
00:01:37,236 --> 00:01:39,796
RANDY IS JUST ONE OF
SEVERAL ASTRONAUTS ONBOARD
