Awe Arousing Appearance of Aurora

I love aurorae. Possibly one of the most beautiful and spectacular natural phenomena to grace this planet.

Astronaut Ron Garan recently posted a fantastic photo of an aurora from Earth’s orbit on his Twitter feed:

One of the last pictures I took #FromSpace #Aurora – southern lights – dancing with #Orion 9/14/11 18:48 GMT http://t.co/L7CfjJCp

Makes me feel like a 9 year old kid again, wishing he could be an astronaut when he grows up.
