Aurora Australis as Seen From ISS
The southern lights, from NASA Johnson's Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit. Made from station photos taken on August 17, 2022, over roughly 20 minutes, the sequence begins over the Southern Ocean between Africa and Antarctica with green and red aurora throughout.
The payoff comes near the end, when Australia rolls into view and the yellow night lights of Perth appear under the glow. Pair it with the November 2025 storm footage to see aurora over both hemispheres from orbit.
