Aurora Australis fotografiada en órbita

La fotografía se tomó el 29 de Mayo desde la Estación Espacial Internacional y ha sido publicada en Popular Science por Clay Dillow:

"This particular aurora is unique in the sense that it was spotted fairly far away from the South Pole over the southern Indian Ocean, likely as a result of a large ejection of energy that burst from the sun on May 24. The photographer is looking south toward Antarctica, though you can’t see the southernmost continent in the photograph. The ISS orbits at around 220 miles, while the aurora was located somewhere in the ionosphere between 60 and 190 miles above the planet’s surface."
