Astronauts Observe Blue Light Over Europe

Mysterious events occurring in the world or outside the world immediately attract the attention of many of us. Even with scientific research in the face of such events, people may be more inclined to create legends by dwelling on mysteries. That’s why we don’t want to be confronted with logical reasons for the interesting events we encounter in the ordinary course of life. Because interesting events and mysteries often create excitement.

Some events that we can see in various parts of the universe or in the atmosphere can also be a part of these interesting mysteries. Although the mysterious lights that occur from time to time are explained by some people with myths and mysterious beliefs, scientific explanations clarify the situation with logical reasons. There was an exemplary event in this situation recently. International Space Station astronauts observed a blue light over Europe. French astronaut Thomas Pesquet explained what the blue light in the European skies actually is when viewed from space.

Caused by lightning in the atmosphere

The blue glow discovered over Europe in the past days has brought different and interesting views. These mysterious visions got their share from the French astronaut Thomas Pesquet. Pesquet joked that this glow was such a rare event that elves and spirits could be real, and that they could also affect the climate.

Thomas Pesquet’s comments on the image he shared on his Twitter account, stating that he does not believe in this mystery, are supported by scientific explanations. It is said that the lights in question are caused by lightning in the upper layers of the atmosphere.
