Russian Soyuz MS-25 Crew Ship & Green Aurora | International Space Station

Russian Soyuz MS-25 Crew Ship & Green Aurora | International Space Station

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick: "Recent solar activity pushed the aurora closer to us. The Soyuz hangs from the station in a stream of aurora. Soyuz is illuminated in a light blue from [the] sun behind the camera and in front of the space station that is just about to rise."

Oxygen is responsible for vivid green aurora (wavelength of 557.7 nm).
