The video was shot from the International Space Station.
Our planet looks like another world thanks to the gorgeous Aurora that is featured in the footage.
One of the highlights of a trip to the International Space Station is seeing an Aurora. The natural phenomenon occurs when particles from solar storms hit gases in Earth's atmosphere.

On Monday, NASA shared a video on social media. As it passes over the Indian Ocean, it shows a view of the Coral Sea east of Australia.
The bright image of the moon can be seen at the 25 second mark. The station travels over southern Australia and at the 30-second mark the Aurora is no longer in view. If you can see the constellation rising, that's a good sign.
At the end of the video, you can see the beautiful sight of the moon glinting off the ocean several hundred miles below.
The Canadarm2 is a key component of the International Space Station. During spacewalks outside the station, the robotic arm can be used to assist astronauts, and can also be used to grab visiting spaceships to help them dock with the satellite. Last year, the Canadarm2 was struck by a small piece of space debris, however, it escaped any serious damage and still works normally.
The seven-window Cupola module, which offers unparalleled views of Earth and beyond, is often visited by astronauts when they are on the International Space Station. Some people like to get one of the station's many DSLR cameras and take a picture below.
There is a recommended video.
