While docked and onboard the International Space Station on March 21st 2008, an STS-123 Endeavour crewmember, looking northward across the Gulf of Alaska, captured the glowing green beauty of the Aurora Borealis over the Earth.

More beautiful pictures of the Aurora Borealis.
When I was younger I was completely afraid to look out the window when I would hear the Aurora Borealis may be visible. I would hide under my bed and beg for everyone to leave me alone so I wouldn't have to come out and possibly see it. I had a fear of the unknown back then. Now, after learning much about this phenomenon I can only hope for the chance to see this in my lifetime.
