In brief
In a mesmerizing video taken in January 2025, the aurora borealis' vivid greens and reds dance across the night sky as the ISS hovers 259 miles above the Earth, showcasing not only the spectacular lights but also the illuminated city landscapes beneath.
The Northern Lights are usually observed from high-latitude areas on the ground, but this unique perspective from space reveals how solar winds disrupt Earth's magnetic field to create this incredible phenomenon. Amid the brilliant spectacle, the ISS gracefully transitions into a beautiful sunrise spectacle over the Atlantic Ocean.
