The glimmering waves of colorful lights aren’t just for those of us on the planet’s surface.

The crew of the International Space Station has been getting an eyeful of knockout auroras.

A fresh ISS image shows just how radical this crop of auroras has been.

There’s a radiant ring of green with shreds of light emanating outward from the curvature of the planet.

We were treated to the strongest auroras of the entire mission, over north America and Canada.

It’s a reminder of our planet’s connection to our star, a bringer of life and light.
