Dominick filmed the dazzling auroras while looking out of the window of Dragon Endeavor, which was docked near the International Space Station (ISS). He explained that his view also featured the Dragon Freedom spacecraft, enhancing the surreal quality of the footage. “Red and green aurora appear to dance as we fly by Dragon Endeavour's window with Dragon Freedom in view,” Dominick noted in his post. The vibrant display was a result of solar activity, which has recently intensified.

He also described how the view from the spacecraft, particularly during the aurora display, made his experience unforgettable. Dominick expressed that the spectacular auroras made staying docked an easy decision, as undocking earlier would have meant missing the stunning sight.
