Nasa astronaut Zena Cardman recently filmed the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, from an extraordinary perspective: from the International Space Station (ISS). These spectacular images were taken on November 17th and show the fascinating play of light created by the interaction of solar winds with the Earth’s magnetic field. Cardman, who serves as commander of the SpaceX Crew-11 mission, shared these stunning images with the world, sparking renewed interest in the phenomena of our atmosphere.
The Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon that can primarily be observed in the polar regions. It occurs when charged particles from the sun hit the Earth’s magnetic field and penetrate the upper layers of the atmosphere. There they stimulate oxygen and nitrogen molecules, which then glow in different colors. In addition to being a visual spectacle, these lights also provide valuable scientific insights into the interactions between the Sun and Earth.
Cardman, who has been aboard the ISS since August 1, has the opportunity to regularly observe the phenomenon from a unique perspective in her role as commander of SpaceX’s Crew-11 mission. She emphasizes that she has never seen the Northern Lights from Earth, but that they are a common and impressive spectacle in space. These recordings not only offer spectacular images, but also new insights into the phenomena that influence our atmosphere.
The significance of such photographs goes beyond pure aesthetics. They help scientists better understand the dynamics of Earth’s magnetosphere and study the effects of solar storms on our technology, such as satellites and power grids. The research results could help better predict and manage future disruptions from solar activity. Cardman’s images are another step in the ongoing exploration of our planet and its surroundings.
