French Astronauts See Bright Lights Beyond the Full Moon

PARIS – A astronaut from France, Thomas Pesquet managed to record a track image light south of the full moon from the International Space Station (ISS).

As reported by Unilad, light The name Aurora Australis comes from Latin which means south, green mixed with blue and red. In the video, the light looks brighter than the light of a full moon.

Pesquet, who is an astronaut with the European Space Agency (ESA) explained on his Facebook page that when the video footage was made, the moonlight was very bright.

The space engineer claimed to have witnessed several aurora lights during his mission to the ISS this year.

However, this time the southern lights are special because they occur during the full moon.

Light Auroras occur when particles from the sun enter Earth’s atmosphere and collide with oxygen and nitrogen particles.

Natural phenomena occurs at the North and South Poles, meaning that people living in lower latitudes have the best chance of seeing it.
