It is very easy to fall into our daily routines and constantly worry about our jobs, school or problems in our personal lives. But sometimes it helps to remind ourselves of where we're acutally living and that our everyday problems really aren't as serious as we think and that life on Earth really is precious. 

Take a look at some breathtaking photos of our home planet from the ISS.

Here you can see the Scandinavia region (Denmark at the bottom, Norway and Sweden at the top) at night and a green aurora. 

Cape Town and the southern part of Africa in contrast to the blue Indian Ocean.

Hurricane Harvey can be seen from the cupola of the ISS. To the left you can also see the Russian Soyuz spacecraft used to transport cosmonauts to orbit and back.

Beautiful green auroras as the sun is rising from behind the earth.
