Aurora boreale (luci del nord) e australe riprese dalla Stazione Spaziale Internazionale (ISS). Le aurore sono causate da particelle cariche che impattano sul campo magnetico della Terra e causano la ionizzazione dell’atmosfera terrestre creando questo spettacolo celestiale.

Aurora australis and aurora borealis (northern lights) as viewed from the International Space Station. Auroras are caused by charged particles entering the atmosphere from above causing ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents as they collide with the earth’s magnetic field. This video was compiled using time lapse footage shot from the International Space Station obtained courtesy of the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, NASA Johnson Space Center.
