The Northern Lights are one of the most spectacular
sights on the planet . But you don’t need to be on terra
firma to appreciate their beauty.
This picture was taken by Expedition 50 Flight Engineer
Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency (ESA),
who is currently aboard the orbiting International Space
Station.
Pesquet managed to capture the picture of the aurora
lights from his vantage point aboard the space station and
it was quickly shared by space agency NASA. "The view at night recently has been simply magnificent:
few clouds, intense auroras. I can’t look away from the
windows,” Pesquet said.
The auroras are caused by energy particles ejected from
the sun as part of a solar wind or eruptions called coronal
mass ejections.
These particles meet Earth’s atmosphere and create the
dancing lights that are sometimes visible from the
northern tip of the UK. Astronauts are no strangers to dramatic views from the
ISS. Last month, astronaut Shane Kimbrough shared an
amazing picture of London at night.
He caught the picture from 250 miles above the city and
posted it to Twitter, where it promptly lit up with retweets
and favourites.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Judging by how confident the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like economists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. According to his well-heeled argument, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indicators but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending downwards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This optimism is no less supported by the recent release of the nation’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP contracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 representing the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
