Spectacular aurora captured from space by Russian cosmonaut – video

A breathtaking view of the Northern Lights has been revealed to the public through an extraordinary footage taken by a Russian cosmonaut on the International Space Station (ISS). The stunning display of colorful lights, dancing across the polar skies, was captured by Anatoly Sherveytov as he gazed out of the station's cupola.

The mesmerizing 4-minute video shows the aurora borealis in all its glory, with vibrant hues of green, blue, and red swirling across the horizon. The phenomenon, caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field, is a natural wonder that few people get to witness firsthand.

Sherveytov, who spent over five years on the ISS as part of a Russian space mission, has shared his breathtaking view on social media, offering a unique perspective on the spectacle. The video has sent shockwaves through the scientific community and astronomy enthusiasts worldwide, with many praising Sherveytov's exceptional photography skills.

The experience is not only a testament to Sherveytov's remarkable observational skills but also serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty that can be found in our universe. As one viewer noted on social media, "This is what makes space travel so incredible – the opportunity to witness breathtaking sights like this from a unique perspective."
 
The footage taken by Anatoly Sherveytov on the ISS is truly mesmerizing 🤩. It's fascinating how the charged particles from the sun can create such a stunning display of colorful lights in our polar skies. The fact that we get to witness this natural wonder firsthand, albeit from space 🚀, is a remarkable privilege. As someone who's always been fascinated by astronomy and the wonders of our universe, I think it's amazing how Sherveytov's experience serves as a reminder of the awe-inspiring beauty that awaits us out there 🌌. The fact that his exceptional photography skills have allowed us to share this breathtaking view with the world is just incredible 📸.
 
I mean, can you even imagine witnessing something like that in person? It's just mind-blowing to think about how tiny we are compared to the vastness of space and all its wonders 🚀. Anatoly Sherveytov is literally living his dream out there on the ISS, and it's amazing that he gets to share this experience with us through this incredible footage. I'm not even surprised that scientists and astronomy enthusiasts are freaking out over it – who wouldn't be? The Northern Lights are already pretty breathtaking from down here on Earth, but seeing them in all their glory up there in space is just...wow 🌌.

I think what really gets me is how Sherveytov got to witness this phenomenon for so long. Like, five years is a huge chunk of time, and I can only imagine how many times he must have gazed out at the stars, waiting for that perfect moment to capture something like this on camera. It's just a reminder of how lucky we are to be able to explore space and discover all its secrets 🚗.

And you know what really gets me? The fact that it's not just about the science behind it – although that's super cool too. It's about the human experience, the sense of wonder and awe that comes from seeing something like this in person. I mean, Sherveytov is basically a space-time ambassador right now, sharing his incredible experiences with the world and inspiring us to keep looking up at the stars 🌠.
 
I'm totally blown away by this vid 🤯... it's literally otherworldly! But, I mean, think about it - we're still using space tech in 2025 and it's just becoming more accessible. That's kinda mind-blowing, right? 💻 Yet, at the same time, it makes me a bit nervous. We're not even exploring our own planet properly yet... have you seen some of those Amazon rainforest fires lately? 🌳 It's like we're stuck between marveling at cosmic beauty and dealing with some pretty gnarly problems on Earth 🤔
 
Man, I'm loving this footage! It's mind-blowing to think about how much we're missing out on when we're stuck on Earth. I mean, can you imagine witnessing something like that in person? It's wild to think about how Sherveytov got such an epic shot from space 🚀. But what really gets me is the reminder of how small our planet actually is. Seeing those aurora borealis swirling around us puts everything into perspective. We need more initiatives like this to inspire people to care about our place in the universe and all its mysteries 🌠.
 
OMG u guyz ! 🤯🌌 I just saw the most EPIC vid of the Northern Lights taken by a Russian cosmonaut on the ISS 🚀👽 and I'm SHOOK ! 😲 The way those colors swirl across the sky is like nothing I've ever seen before 💫. It's like Mother Nature put on a light show just for us 🎉. And can we talk about how lucky Sherveytov was to witness this from up high? 🙏 Five years on the ISS and he gets to share his view with the world 🌟. This vid is giving me LIFE and I'm so grateful to have seen it 😍. If you haven't checked it out yet, DO IT NOW 🎥!
 
I'm still trying to process how breathtaking that video is! I mean, can you imagine being up there in space looking down at that beauty? It's mind-blowing just thinking about it. And I love that Sherveytov shared it on social media - I've seen the comments from scientists and astronomy nerds going wild over it too . I guess you could say we're all inspired to gaze up at those Northern Lights in a whole new way 🌌💫
 
OMG 🤯! This view is literally out of this world 😂! Can you believe someone gets to see that every day?! I mean, I've seen some amazing sunsets in my life but this... it's like something straight from a sci-fi movie 🚀. The colors, the movement, it's all so mesmerizing and humbling at the same time. It makes me realize how small we are in the grand scheme of things, you know? 😊 And can we talk about Anatoly Sherveytov for a sec?! What an amazing photographer and observer! I'm seriously jealous that he got to experience this on his daily commute 🚀😍. This is what inspires me to keep looking up at the stars (literally!) 🌠💫
 
omg did u see dat video lol it's insane how Sherveytov captured the Northern Lights like that! i mean, can u imagine being in space and witnessing something so beautiful? 🚀😍 it's like, we're still living in a sci-fi movie or somethin' 😂 and i'm literally dyin to see more vids like this from other astronauts. can u imagine what it would be like to witness a solar eclipse or a supernova in person?! mind blown 💥
 
🤩 OMG you guys have u seen this vid from the ISS its literally breathtaking I mean I've seen pics of aurora borealis but this is on another level Sherveytov is a total genius 4 min vid?! what does that even feel like to watch from space? 🚀💫 and can we talk about how lucky r us to have ppl like him who get to experience sth so epic 😍 I wonder wot other natural wonders are out there waiting 2 b discovered 🌟🔭
 
Still mind-blowing how something as natural as aurora borealis can evoke such an emotional response 🌌😍. The fact that Sherveytov got to capture it on camera is just icing on the cake, but seriously, have you seen his Instagram? His editing skills are on point 💫.
 
🌌 I'm literally speechless right now 🤯! A Russian cosmonaut's footage of the Northern Lights from space is literally OUT OF THIS WORLD 😍. Can you imagine witnessing something that stunning in real life? It's mind-blowing to think about how those charged particles from the sun can create such a breathtaking display. And I love how Anatoly shared this on social media - it's amazing to see people sharing their experiences and connecting with each other over our shared wonder of the universe 🌟.
 
OMG 🚀💫 I'm living for this vid!!! It's literally out of this world (pun intended) 😂 but can we talk about how lucky Sherveytov was to be able to see this in person? Like, 5 years on the ISS is a huge deal. But also, I gotta say, I'm not surprised by his skills - space travel is all about adapting to new situations and making the most of your time.

I love that he shared it on social media though, because now we can all experience this beauty from our own homes 🏠. It's crazy how something as stunning as this can make us realize just how small we are in the grand scheme of things 🌎. But in a good way? 😊
 
I mean, I love the Northern Lights are amazing and all 🌌, but 4 minutes of footage is just too long for a video clip. Can't they make it shorter? It's already 5 years since he was on the ISS, so can we get some good ol' space-briefs or something instead of this lengthy view from up high?
 
The Northern Lights are just mind-blowing 🤯! I mean, who needs 3D movies when you can see this in person... or at least, on a space station? Anatoly Sherveytov's footage is seriously stunning, I've watched it like three times already. It's crazy to think about how charged particles from the sun can create such an otherworldly display. And let's not forget, Sherveytov has been in space for five years, so he must have seen some pretty amazing things. But even for a seasoned space traveler, this must be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I'm loving how it's sparked conversations about the beauty of space and the incredible opportunities that come with exploration 🚀
 
I mean, have you seen this video? It's literally out of this world 🚀💫! But seriously, it got me thinking - who gets to control the narrative around these kinds of discoveries? I mean, Sherveytov's just sharing his footage, but is that really enough? Shouldn't we be asking ourselves whose space station he was on and what kind of funding made this mission possible? 🤔

And let's not forget about the environmental implications of all those charged particles from the sun interacting with our magnetic field. That's like, a whole other can of worms right there 🐈! It makes you wonder if we're really just spectators when it comes to space exploration... or are we just along for the ride? 🚫
 
Wow 🚀💫! Can you imagine witnessing something so magical in person? I mean, the ISS has seen some crazy stuff, but this is on another level. Anatoly Sherveytov must have been freaking out when he captured that footage. And 4 minutes of pure awesomeness? That's just mind-blowing! Interesting how the aurora borealis can bring people together and inspire new generations of space enthusiasts 🌟
 
I mean, who needs social media when you're living on the ISS and have the whole cosmos as your backyard? 🌠 This video is literally out of this world (pun intended). I'm not surprised it's got everyone in a tizzy – 4 minutes of someone gazing at lights is basically the most thrilling thing that's happened since Netflix dropped its latest season. Anatoly Sherveytov must be the coolest cosmonaut ever, just chillin' on the ISS and capturing sick pics for us mere mortals.
 
🌠 I just watched this vid and honestly it gave me chills. It made me realize how small we are in this world. Like, we're not even gonna see something as crazy beautiful as that aurora borealis unless we reach space. It's humbling, you know? We should be grateful for the tiny window of experience we have to appreciate the vastness and wonder of our universe 💫
 
man this footage is insane 🔥🌌 i mean its not every day you get to see the northern lights up close and personal in 4k resolution lol sherveytov must have been super excited to capture that shot he's definitely got some serious photography skills tho 📸👍 what's wild is how different it looks from up there compared to when we see it on tv or online 👀
