***EXCLUSIVE*** ***VIDEO AVAILABLE*** NAMIB DESERT, NAMIBIA - JUNE 21: Images of the Namib desert by astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) on June 21, 2014 above Namibia. Large dust plumes are visible being carried by strong winds off the coast of the Namib Desert. A YEAR from space ñ photographs of hurricanes, typhoons and meteorite craters show an astronauts-eye view of our planet from hundreds of miles above the earth. The illuminating images were taken by astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) over the course of 2014.¿ The space-based snappers captured everything from phenomenal weather to the Northern Lights from their orbit at around 220 miles above the earth. The stunning collection charts some of the most important natural events of 2014, including Hurricane Gonzalo which hit Bermuda and Britain in mid October and Typhoon Neoguri, the super typhoon which battered Japan in July. The photographs also capture a rare glimpse of the Northern Lights from space ñ shining in bright greens and purples above the northern hemisphere. Astronauts have lived on the ISS every day since October 2000 ñ and the floating home and science lab provides a unique opportunity to capture out-of-this-world photographs.

The Mars rover Curiosity. See SWNS story SWMARS; Space enthusiasts watching the Mars rover roam the surface of the red planet were stopped in their tracks after the explorer spotted -- a TRAFFIC LIGHT. Nasa has been beaming photos from space since their mobile robot Curiosity landed on the 'red' planet in August 2012. Keen-eyed Joe Smith, 45, noticed a chuck of rock in the corner of footage which looks bizarrely like a set of traffic lights. Joe, a space video journalist, from Bristol, said: "I have been following the images from Nasa since the start and I flick through them on the Nasa website every day.
