Viewing Aurora from SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavor | International Space Station

Viewing Aurora from SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavor | International Space Station

Astronaut Matthew Dominick: "Peering out a Dragon Endeavor window that frames red and green aurora streaming by Dragon Freedom docked to the front of the International Space Station."

"When Crew-9 arrived, I moved out of my crew quarters on the ISS to make room for Nick Hague. I now sleep in Dragon Endeavor while we wait to undock. We take most of our images from the cupola, but sleeping here has been amazing. This is the view out the window this evening . . . I miss my family and friends, but we would have missed today’s insane aurora if we had undocked today. I watched the aurora with astronaut Don Pettit today from the cupola and on a later pass I watched it from Endeavor with Nick Hague."
