We’ve seen a lot of aurora from the space station, but this latest view is pretty special.
Ask any astronaut about the pleasures of spending time aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and one of the responses will surely be the incredible views that they get to enjoy from 250 miles above Earth.
The scenery can include everything from remarkable vistas of places far below, sunrises and sunsets every 90 minutes, astonishing views of thunderstorms, and, far beyond Earth, stunning scenery that includes the moon and even the Milky Way.
They’re also regularly treated to aurora, an amazing natural light display caused by the interaction of solar winds with Earth’s magnetic field.
