The aurora australis arcs above a partly cloudy Indian Ocean in this photograph from the International Space Station as it orbited 269 miles above in between Australia and Antarctica on June 12, 2025.
Astronauts aboard the space station take photos using handheld digital cameras, usually through windows in the station’s cupola, for Crew Earth Observations. Crew members have produced hundreds of thousands of images of the Moon and Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere.

2025年6月12日，当国际空间站在澳大利亚和南极洲之间、距地面约269英里（约433公里）上空运行时，宇航员拍下了这张照片，画面中南极光在多云的印度洋上空划出一道绚丽的弧线。
空间站上的宇航员通常使用手持数码相机，通过舱内圆顶观景窗拍摄，以执行“地球观察任务”（Crew Earth Observations）。迄今为止，宇航员们已拍摄了数十万张关于月球、地球陆地、海洋和大气的精彩影像。
