Aurora Austrialis From STS-135

Space shuttle Atlantis, now docked to the ISS for the last resupply mission of NASA's 30-year shuttle program, witnessed the aurora austrialis. In addition to Southern Lights, the picture also frames Atlantis's port side wing and a segment of the boom sensor system attached to the shuttle's robotic arm. Credit: NASA/STS-135 crew
