Yellow halo like honey covered Earth in ISS image

The golden glow that envelops the Earth creates an impressive moment in a photo taken at an altitude of 400 meters from the ISS station.

Optical phenomena with golden light like honey make the Earth look like a giant candy, urging astronauts on the International Space Station to stay in the moment on October 7, according to Live Science. The photo was shared by the US Aerospace Agency (NASA) yesterday.

The orange light that envelops the Earth is the airglow , the luminescence caused by the high-level chemical reactions of the Earth's atmosphere. This virtual luminescence often occurs when ultraviolet radiation from sunlight stimulates nitrogen, oxygen, sodium and ozone molecules in the atmosphere. Activated molecules crash into each other and lose energy during the collision, creating a faint but beautiful light.

The airship observes most clearly at night because of the dim halo over a billion times the sunlight, according to NASA.This special photo was taken at an altitude of over 400km above Australia. The luminosity of the triumphal gas can be comparable to the glowing chemical reactions on Earth such as luminescent sticks.

Not only does it bring a beautiful light show, the air force also helps scientists learn about activities at the upper level. For example, phenomena can reveal how particles near the Earth's surface and moving space and the relationship between weather and weather on Earth.

Although the gas in the image is orange-yellow, this phenomenon can be associated with many other colors. In 2016, a photographer in the mid-Pacific Azores archipelago photographed rainbow-colored gas, according to Space.com.
