AURORA BOREALIS FROM SPACE 🌌✨
NASA astronaut Chris Williams captured this stunning view of the aurora borealis over Europe from the ISS on Jan. 19, 2026.
While city lights outline the continent below, the vibrant bands of red and green above are caused by energized space particles colliding with Earth’s atmosphere. During solar storms, these "northern lights" can stretch far beyond the poles, painting the night sky in brilliant color.
