Aurora Dancing Above Europe from Space

A vivid green and red aurora streams across Earth’s horizon above Europe in this breathtaking view from space. Captured on January 19, 2026, from the International Space Station, the image looks north across Italy toward Germany as the station orbited 262 miles above the Mediterranean Sea. Photographed by Chris Williams for NASA, the glowing arc reveals charged solar particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field — a powerful display of our planet’s natural shield at work.
