I've always wanted see the Aurora. It's something that's always been on my bucket-list, and NASA isn't making my longing to do so any easier when they show off footage like this. 

This is time-lapse imagery was captured on June 25, 2017, by Expedition 52, and shows the spectacular Aurora Australis in the southern hemisphere, as viewed from the International Space Station when it was flying over the south of Australia and the southern Pacific Ocean.
