Planet Earth: Bright Auroral Curtains with Stars | International Space Station

Planet Earth: Bright Auroral Curtains with Stars | International Space Station

Expedition 74 flight engineer and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kim Yui: "I'm continuing to take photos during breaks at work. Knowing that I would soon return, the sun must have tried its best, as I was able to capture a very beautiful aurora. I was happy to have captured it, but above all, imagining everyone smiling with joy upon seeing the footage. I smiled to myself with a laugh."
