Descrição:
This NASA image shows the Aurora Australis observed from the 
International Space Station on May 29, 2010.This photo was taken during 
a geomagnetic storm that was most likely caused by a coronal mass 
ejection from the Sun on May 24, 2010. The ISS was located over the 
Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 kilometres (220 miles), with 
the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not 
visible) and the South Pole. The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that 
separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image. 
While the dominant colouration of the aurora is green, there are faint 
suggestions of red left of image centre. Dense cloud cover is dimly 
visible below the aurora. The curvature of the Earth's horizon is 
clearly visible, as is the faint blue line of the upper atmosphere 
directly above it. Several stars appear as bright pinpoints against the 
blackness of space at image top right
