SAN FRANCISCO, iNews.id – The sun has been acting recently, sending out an impressive burp of matter that has reached Earth and sparked the action aurora which is amazing. Waves of shimmering colorful light are not only for Earthlings but the crew of the International Space Station (ISS).
New ISS images show just how radical this aurora crop can be. There was a glowing green ring with shards of light radiating out from the curvature of the planet.
Astronaut European Space Agency (ESA) Thomas Pesquet is in the final days of his orbital mission and he is making the most of it. “We were treated to the strongest aurora of the entire mission, in North America and Canada,” Pesquet tweeted on Saturday.
Spikes are extraordinary, Pesquet said, higher than the orbits of astronauts on the ISS. And, they fly right over the center of the ring, waves and pulses are fast everywhere, as quoted from Cnet.
We were treated to the strongest auroras of the entire mission, over north America and Canada. Amazing spikes higher than our orbit????, and we flew right above the centre of the ring, rapid waves and pulses all over. #MissionAlpha https://t.co/5rdb08ljhx pic.twitter.com/0liCkGvRCh
