NASA astronaut Jessica Meir shared a time-lapse video from the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft showing the Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) — vivid green ribbons of light caused by a recent solar event. Meir described the phenomenon as ethereal and emotionally evocative, noting it danced and snaked directly beneath the spacecraft. Astronomer Josh Aoraki explained the aurora was triggered by charged particles from the sun.
