Earth Observations taken by Expedition 30 crewmember

ISS030-E-075182 (4 Feb. 2012) --- This nighttime view of Earth's horizon and scattered city lights was photographed by one of the Expedition 30 crew members aboard the International Space Station. Activity of Aurora Borealis appears from behind one of the orbital outpost's solar array panels, then
fades into an area where Earth's limb is visible and finally a small "slice" of daybreak appears at right.
