While the ISS crew waits for delayed visitors, they've been keeping busy with routine work—but got a stunning celestial bonus. An astronaut reports seeing rare pink auroras from space, suggesting these colorful light shows might be shifting from their usual green-white palette.

Pink hues could signal unusual atmospheric conditions, making this more than just a cosmic light show. For earthbound skywatchers, it’s a heads-up: future northern lights might come in unexpected colors.
