Short summary
Astronauts on board the International Space Station have taken thousands of high-quality images of the northern and southern lights (aurorae). Because the images were not taken as part of a specific research project, no information about exactly where the camera was pointing was available. We have used the stars in the images to reconstruct this information. Now we can tell the latitudes and longitudes of the aurorae in the images and use them for research. The data are publicly available.
