People are captivated by the natural phenomenon known as the aurora. You may or may not have witnessed this fascinating light dance, which takes place primarily at the poles. However, the International Space Station (ISS) allows you to see how it looks at night from orbit.?
A beautiful Instagram video depicts the movement of the green aurora.
"Nature's fireworks," ISS said to characterize the grandeur of this phenomenon, noting that the footage was recorded while the space station was about 250 miles above Earth.
¡°These spectacular light shows occur when charged particles from the Sun collide with Earth¡¯s magnetosphere. The result is glowing auroras that are constantly moving, creating an array of bands that fold, swirl, and ripple,¡± the ISS wrote.?
¡°While often spotted from the ground near the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the orbiting laboratory¡¯s unique vantage point gives low Earth orbit crews a front-row seat to the colourful spectacle,¡± they added.?
The International Space Station (ISS), a massive spacecraft in orbit around Earth, provides a unique viewpoint on our planet and the universe. This spaceship is not only a "home where crews of astronauts and cosmonauts live," but it is also a science laboratory where research is undertaken to promote the cause of space exploration.?
Since being shared, the video has received about 4.7 lakh views. In addition, it has approximately 34,000 likes. People left various comments in response to the share.?
