Astronaut captures gorgeous green aurora
"The Soyuz hangs from the station in a stream of aurora." A gorgeous view of auroras an astronaut spotted in space may leave you a little green with envy.
International Space Station (ISS) astronaut Matthew Dominick recently captured auroras dancing behind a Russia Soyuz spacecraft on the orbiting complex.
"Recent solar activity pushed the aurora closer to us. The Soyuz hangs from the station in a stream of aurora," NASA's Dominick wrote Aug. 2 on X.
