Watching the World Go By: Although astronauts often comment on the appearance of lightning storms at night, they are very difficult to photograph. This rare image shows both green Aurora Borealis with a small band of red on top and bright spots in the clouds from lightning strikes while the shutter was open. It was taken by Don Petit on Expedition 6. ISS006-E-21386 (January 18, 2003, 400 mm lens)
