The AP reported Ron Garan, the astronaut working on ISS, capturing the aurora spectacle that appeared in the southern hemisphere on September 15. 'The aurora of light rays seem to dance with the Orion constellation. It was an unforgettable moment , 'Garan said.
After the storm swept through the earth on September 10, aurora appeared regularly in the northern hemisphere in recent days. Garan's photo shows that aurora also appears in the southern hemisphere.
The aurora occurs when particles of charge from the sun rush into the earth's atmosphere at tremendous speed. During migration, charged particles crash into oxygen and nitrogen atoms, causing their energy levels to increase. As a result, oxygen and oxygen atoms emit a range of colorful light. When bands of light appear in the northern hemisphere, they are called aurora north. If they appear in the southern hemisphere, they are called male aurora.
Earth is not the only place in the solar system that has aurora. This phenomenon also appears on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Venus, Mars and Neptune.
