Original – Video of the Aurora Australis taken by the crew of Expedition 28 on board the International Space Station. This sequence of shots was taken September 17, 2011 from 17:22:27 to 17:45:12 GMT, on an ascending pass from south of Madagascar to just north of Australia over the Indian Ocean.
Reason
Found this in a drive by reading of the current International Space Station article; having never heard of an Aurora Australis before I thought I would play the clip. Its an interesting vid, so I thought it may have a shot at an FP star.
