The aurora is caused by a coronal ejection from the Sun, which triggers G2 geomagnetic storms on Earth.
Astronaut Robert Hynes captured stunning photos of the auroras from the International Space Station. They appear as a result of the merger of two coronal mass ejections on the Sun, which cause geomagnetic storms on Earth. The Daily Mail reported this.
The picture was taken from a module called Dome, which consists of seven windows. This observatory is the best place to observe the spectacular views of Earth.
Auroras are noted to occur when particles from incoming solar storms hit gases in our planet’s atmosphere, and their collision often leads to their appearance.
Although astronauts on the space station have a unique opportunity to observe this phenomenon, auroras are also clearly visible on Earth in northern regions such as Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. It can also be observed from the southern coast of Australia and New Zealand.
