Aurora Australis, as seen from the ISS

Another amazing capture from ESA astronaut André Kuipers, from his vantage point on the ISS. The Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, in the high atmosphere between Australia and Antarctica.

André travelled to the orbital outpost in December 2011, and will remain in orbit for more than 6 months as part of ESA's long duration mission, PromISSe.
