 "Lights will guide you home: Astronaut tweets amazing images of aurora from space")
The earth is a beautiful place and NASA astronaut Terry Virts is giving us photographic evidence that our planet looks even better from up above.
Virts has been regularly tweeting photographs of earth from space aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
An aurora is a natural display of light on the sky predominantly seen in high latitude regions and is usually seen in a a burst of bright colours. But seen from space, it looks even more gorgeous.

Virts also tweeted a vine video of the aurora, saying that he wished he was quicker with the camera, as then he would have been right above the light.
