NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick’s stunning timelapse captures vibrant red and green auroras from the Crew Dragon spacecraft, showcasing nature's beauty from space.
The brief timelapse, composed of a couple thousand images, reveals the mesmerizing colors created by charged particles entering Earth’s atmosphere due to solar activity.
As the Sun intensifies its 11-year cycle, scientists expect more solar storms, which contribute to the formation of these breathtaking auroras seen from space.
Powerful solar flares, like the recent X-level flare, release masses of plasma that interact with Earth’s magnetosphere, creating vivid auroras in the atmosphere.
