Aurora Australis above the Southern Indian Ocean | International Space Station


The aurora australis seemingly crowns the Earth's horizon as the International Space Station orbited 272 miles above the southern Indian Ocean in between Asia and Antarctica.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the  International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
