NASA astronaut captures footage of 'wavy green auroras' from orbit

NASA astronaut Don Pettit posted a video showing "wavy green auroras" seen from space, describing the experience as "surreal." In a post on X, Pettit noted, "Orbiting over wavy green auroras! Moments like these are some of the most surreal in spaceflight." Auroras are created when charged solar particles collide with Earth's magnetic fields and atmosphere in the upper layers.
