    Southern lights season is over 🐸 #shorts

    Before the season came to an end, @thom_astro captured this timelapse of the aurora australis from the @iss and shared it on his social media channels saying: “We’ve been looking, but there’s nothing to see anymore in our aurora sweet spot (southwest of Australia, midway to Antarctica). Don’t worry, I still have a few to share. Don’t you just 💚 the way the light skips across Earth in this one as the solar arrays comes into view.”

    Aurora Australis from Space Station

    André took this video of Aurora Australis from the European Cupola module in the Space Station. The beautiful phenomenon is caused by bursts of particles from the Sun pouring down Earth’s magnetic field into the atmosphere.
