Stunning Timelapse Shows 'Orbital Sunrise' From Space

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick captured a stunning timelapse of an ‘orbital sunrise’ while flying over Europe on the International Space Station.

Footage released by NASA shows glowing reds and greens from the aurora intensifying behind the continent as the sun prepares to rise.

Dominick launched to the International Space Station in early March, and was expected to spend around six months in space. Credit: NASA via Storyful
