In this mesmerising video, you can see the lower structures of the space station silhouetted against the bright green glow of the aurora.
The lowest glowing gases are typically found 80 miles (130 km) above the ground but can dip as low as 60 miles (100 km) in some cases.
Astronaut Don Pettit has shared his bird's eye view of the Northern Lights from the window of the International Space Station.
On social media, space fans have been blown away to discover that astronauts have this unique perspective.
