Astronaut captures stunning video of aurora from space

As an incredibly rare, gigantic geomagnetic storm raged earlier this week, those as far south as Georgia had seen the Northern Lights. But the best video tweet of the aurora borealis came from a man floating in space.


On board the International Space Station (ISS), astronaut Scott Kelly had the best seat to witness an unusually strong display of the aurora on June 23. A geomagnetic storm meant the Aurora Borealis was visible unusually far south and the Aurora Australis could be seen from New South Wales.

Kelly has been a veteran of three previous missions to the ISS, currently serving a year-long mission to learn the effects of living longterm in space that began in March.
