Technology
Astronaut Don Pettit just dropped a mesmerizing video of green auroras swirling over Earth, from orbit.
The glowing waves light up the planet against the darkness of space, a view most of us never get to see.
Pettit called it "Orbiting above the dancing green aurora! Moments like these are among the most surreal experiences of space travel. What a sight!," and honestly, it looks unreal.

Auroras are spectacular displays of colorful light in the sky.
While we usually spot them from the ground, astronauts like Pettit get a front-row seat hundreds of kilometers above Earth, watching entire ribbons of light stretch across the planet.
It's a reminder that some views are truly out of this world.
