141 days into his year-long life in space, Nasa astronaut Scot Kelly continues to provide stunning images and footage of the beauty of Earth seen from far above.
Just as Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield won millions of fans across the world with his social media exploits from space, so too is Mr Kelly, this time sharing a time-lapse of the aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights. Shot from the International Space Station on Sunday, Mr Kelly recorded the natural phenomenon just before sunrise.
The result is, as one would expect, something to behold. Watch the Northern Lights from space below:
Mr Kelly has been sharing daily updates from the ISS, sharing images of the Earth from above, as well as noting the changes to the planet due to man-made exploits, notably in a recent post comparing the Amazon rain forest before and after deforestation.
