Earth Aurora over Southern Hemisphere | International Space Station

Earth Aurora over Southern Hemisphere | International Space Station

Expedition 74 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir: "A timelapse view from our SpaceX Dragon of the spectacular southern aurora seen in yesterday’s post, a result of a recent solar event. As opposed to the previous aurora I’ve seen, this one danced and snaked its way directly below us, putting on quite a show. I am in awe of this ethereal and emotionally evocative phenomenon."
