What does a planet look like when a space ship is either orbiting, or coming in for a landing? Thanks to NASA, we know. The Space Shuttle Discovery's crew snapped this shot of the Southern Lights when they were flying over Earth during mission STS-39.

Here is a beautiful picture of the aurora (in this case the Southern Lights) from low orbit. You can see the constellation Orion in the background. The Space Shuttle's crew snapped this shot when they were flying over Earth during mission STS-59.
