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.
