For a lot of astronauts visiting the ISS, as Digital Trends reports, witnessing an aurora, also known as the northern lights, is actually one of the most incredible aspects of their stay in space.
The phenomenon occurs when the particles of the solar storms hit the gases in the atmosphere of the Earth, from which beautiful sceneries emerge.
The video which is around one minute long shows the view from the outpost of the ISS while it is passing above the Indian Ocean before traveling towards a coral sea illuminated by the Moon, east of Australia.
