"Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) used a digital camera to capture several hundred photographs of the aurora australis, or southern lights ... as the ISS passed from south of Madagascar to just north of Australia between 17:22 and 17:45 Universal Time...

"In the last frames of the movie, light from the ground replaces the light show in the sky. Wildfires and perhaps some intentionally set agricultural fires burn on the continent of Australia, with smoke plumes faintly visible in the night sky. A gold and green halo of atmospheric airglow hangs above the horizon in the distance."
