The brief clip was captured from the perspective of the International Space Station (ISS), the largest modular space station positioned in low Earth orbit. Remarkably, it stands as the largest space station in low orbit and is a collaborative effort involving five different space agencies.

Despite the ISS’s seemingly “moderate” altitude, astronauts stationed there are treated to breathtaking views of city lights and natural wonders like the northern lights.

The video offers a truly spectacular viewing experience and has left X users utterly astonished. Witness it for yourself and be amazed.
