Unfortunately, I have never yet been lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights for myself, but I live in hope that one day I will be in the right place at the right time in the northern hemisphere.
In the meantime, I will have to be happy with watching the display on video, such as this one just released by NASA and showing images captured from the International Space Station (ISS).
Hit the play button and watch some footage taken from the cockpit of the ISS showing the lights
(scientifically termed the aurora borealis) against the curvature of the Earth.
The video was created by the Crew Earth Observations team at Johnson Space Centre, Houston, Texas and made from a series of still images captured by the crew of Expedition 30 on board the space station earlier in the year.
Enjoy!
