FEATURE - ESA-Astronaut macht atemberaubende Aufnahmen von Polarlichtern
This is a jaw-dropping gallery of recent aurora photographs taken from space.
They were captured by Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) from the International Space Station (ISS).
The astronaut has been shooting this series since the beginning of August 2021.
He commented: “These last few days have been auroraspectacular! This amazing light show occurs when particles from the Sun hit Earth's magnetosphere, we were very lucky to see such outbursts and I don't remember such beautiful displays during Proxima. I think it is the most amazing thing I have ever seen that nature can give us. It is beautiful to see and photograph but also a visible show of our planet's atmosphere protecting us from radiation. I shot a few timelapses that will follow, it is another thing to watch the aurora dance!”
