Astonishing footage of the aurora borealis has been captured from space by a Russian cosmonaut, showcasing the breathtaking display in stunning clarity. The rare and privileged opportunity to witness this phenomenon from orbit was made possible by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev, who took advantage of his position on the International Space Station (ISS) to snap a series of incredible photos.
According to sources, the aurora borealis was visible in the northern hemisphere during the time of Artemyev's spacewalk. The resulting images reveal a kaleidoscope of colors dancing across the sky, with vibrant shades of green and blue that seem almost otherworldly.
The ISS orbits at an altitude of approximately 250 miles above the Earth, providing cosmonauts like Artemyev with unparalleled views of our planet. It's this unique vantage point that allows for a level of intimacy and immersion in natural wonders like the aurora borealis that is rarely experienced by others.
Experts have hailed the footage as "breathtaking" and a testament to the incredible opportunities available to cosmonauts on the ISS. The visuals are set to captivate audiences worldwide, offering a glimpse into the beauty and majesty of our planet from an unparalleled perspective.

this is insane!!! I mean, can you even imagine being in space and seeing the aurora borealis up close? It's like something out of a sci-fi movie 
! The fact that Oleg Artemyev got to experience it from 250 miles above the Earth is just mind-blowing 
. And those colors! They're so vivid and alive, it's like you can almost feel the cold space breeze on your skin 
. I'm literally speechless 
, these pics are going to blow my mind when they come out online 
The footage is insane!!! I mean, 250 miles above Earth, that's like, WHOA! The ISS is literally the coolest thing ever for astrophotography. And Oleg Artemyev, what a lucky dude to get to capture all that beauty from space. The colors are so vivid and otherworldly, it's like looking at a work of art 
. I'm definitely living vicariously through these pics. It's moments like these that remind me how small we are in the grand scheme of things, but also how amazing & awe-inspiring our planet can be 
.
. Meanwhile, back on Earth, people are still struggling to get a decent view of the aurora borealis on their phones 
.
. I'm not saying Artemyev doesn't deserve his moment of glory, but we need to start thinking about how we can make these kinds of experiences more accessible to everyone 
.

of the aurora borealis! Can you believe we've got cosmonauts on the ISS capturing pics of it? It's like they're floating above us, witnessing a whole different world 
. I mean, 250 miles up is pretty close to the action. The colors are insane, like an otherworldly light show 
. Can you imagine what it would be like to walk outside on the station and just see that... that's a dream come true for me! 
Just think how lucky we are to have people like Oleg Artemyev who can share these incredible moments with us, it's truly humbling 
and it's still not good for marine life after all those years of warming oceans... meanwhile, some dude in space gets to take sick pics of the aurora borealis 
and i'm so down for these cosmonauts sharing their experiences with us through photos and vids 
oleg artemyev must be one lucky cosmonaut to have gotten these shots 
. I mean, being in space doesn't magically make you a photographer genius. ISS orbits do offer a sweet view of the Earth, though - anyone who's ever seen those pics can tell you they're pretty cool 
. I love how the ISS gives cosmonauts this incredible view of our planet – it's truly breathtaking (pun intended 
). Can you imagine what it would be like to see an aurora borealis in real life? 
, but I think we've all seen some sick aurora pics before... like, literally just last year or something 
.
. I mean, come on, how many people get to witness this kind of thing in their lifetime? It's great that Oleg got to experience it but is it really that rare? Is it like, once a year or something? 
️
. still, i guess it's nice for us landlubbers to get a glimpse of what it'd be like to witness the aurora from space
