NASA宇航员Jessica Meir和Jack Hathaway在国际空间站驻留六个月期间，获得了从太空观测天文现象的独特机会1。由于空间站的轨道位置，两人未能观看到日食的全食阶段，但仍然目睹了偏食1。他们还计划观测月食1。
在众多天体现象中，Meir指出绿色舞动的极光是最壮观的天体现象，尤其是在太阳活动频繁的季节1。她描述称，绿色极光曾在他们的正下方出现，并映照在空间站的外壳上1。作为空间站指挥官的Meir和海军上尉Hathaway预计将在下月替补宇航员到达后返回地球1。当前空间站组员包括3名美国人、3名俄罗斯人和1名法国宇航员1。
NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway have spent six months aboard the International Space Station observing astronomical phenomena from orbit, discovering that auroras surpass eclipses as the most spectacular celestial displays 1. Although their orbital position prevented them from witnessing the total solar eclipse that occurred the previous Sunday, the two astronauts were able to observe a partial eclipse and plan to watch an upcoming lunar eclipse 1. Meir, who serves as commander of the space station, highlighted the extraordinary beauty of the dancing green auroras, particularly during periods of heightened solar activity, noting instances where the phenomenon appeared directly below them and reflected off the station's exterior 1.
The astronauts' six-month mission has provided them with a unique vantage point for studying Earth's natural light shows. Meir and Hathaway are scheduled to return to Earth following the arrival of replacement crew members in the coming month 1. The International Space Station currently houses a diverse crew consisting of three American astronauts, three Russian cosmonauts, and one French astronaut 1. On July 4th, Meir performed John Philip Sousa's "The Stars and Stripes Forever" with the Boston Pops 1.
