With the darker nights and crisper temperatures rolling in, we can feel that Christmas is on its way.

Top 5 Images of the Aurora from Space
Recently, NASA made their entire media library accessible to the public and since then, we’ve been excitedly scrolling through some spectacular images from space. Now, the Northern Lights are mesmerising to see from land but there’s something about a space station’s unique vantage point that really shows off just how magical this display is.
