Northern Lights from Space! Astronaut Captures Aurora Over Europe
By Kacey Deamer, Staff Writer | June 2, 2017 01:43pm ET


The enchanting blue and green lights of an aurora dance above the city lights of Northern Europe in a stunning new image taken by an astronaut in space.

In between mission tasks and scientific experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS), French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has captured some amazing images from the orbiting outpost. In a recently shared snapshot by Pesquet, the aurora borealis can be seen in the top right corner of the frame, with the sparkling lights of Northern Europe's cities in the foreground.

Very cool.

Seeing the aurora borealis in person one day is on my bucket list.
