Now this is a rare and awesome video that you don’t get to see everyday:

The cosmic light shows put on by the Northern and Southern Lights (Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis) are a beautiful thing to watch from Earth, and from space, they look just as mind-blowing.

This over-too-soon video shot from the International Space Station (ISS) shows what it looks like to fly over the Aurora Borealis as the sun comes up.

Captured by NASA astronaut (and prolific tweeter) Scott Kelly, the ravishing time-lapse footage shows the Northern Lights rippling like a liquid in the reaches of Earth’s upper atmosphere. The light show slowly turns from a bright green into a darker violet as the gleaming dawn emerges from behind.
