Aurora Australis From Space

This image is of Atlantis and its Orbital Boom Sensor System robot arm extension back dropped against Earth's horizon and a greenish phenomenon associated with Aurora Australis. One of the station's solar array panels appears at upper left. Because of the exposure time needed for this type of photography, some of the stars in the background are blurred.
