Koichi Wakata, a Japanese astronaut onboard the International Space Station, has shared these incredible photos from his 200-mile-high perch.
The breathtaking images reveal an unrivalled view of aurora over Australia as well as an incredible shot of the moon setting on the Earth’s blue atmosphere.
Flew over fascinating aurora at south of Australia a few hours ago,’ Wakata tweeted yesterday, before posting these stunning shots of his view to his 71,000-strong Twitter army.

Just as impressive was Wakata's image of the moon setting in Earth's atmosphere, similar to another posted by the astronaut earlier this month
An aurora, such as this one which took place over Australia, is caused by collisions between electrons from space with the oxygen and nitrogen in Earth's atmosphere
The Southern Lights can sometimes be in New Zealand, southern Australia as seen in these images, and southern Chile and Argentina
IN this image, the sun is behind the Earth, lighting a crescent of the moon and shining through the Earth's atmosphere. The lowest reaches of the atmosphere are red, because only the longest wavelengths of visible light, which are red, aren't scattered by the dense air |
