# NASA astronaut Anil Menon shares aurora view from SpaceX Dragon 2026-08-09T09:59:04+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet NASA astronaut Anil Menon has shared footage of an aurora filmed through the window of a SpaceX Dragon capsule, calling the view “a room with a view”. The video, shot at 1/4-second shutter speed with a 15mm lens and ISO 8000, shows green lights glowing above Earth. The Indian-origin astronaut posted it days after completing his first spacewalk. Menon and NASA’s Jessica Meir spent 6 hours 27 minutes outside the ISS on August 6 during US Spacewalk 96. They prepared the station’s 3B power channel for future upgrades, including additional Roll-Out Solar Arrays. The mission is part of ongoing work to boost electricity generation for the ageing orbital laboratory. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: Anil Menon, aurora, ISS, NASA, spacewalk, SpaceX Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/nasa-astronaut-anil-menon-shares-aurora-view-from-spacex-dragon/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
