Even though the Sun is far away from us, developments in the star can affect the Earth. The moments when we see these effects best are, of course, the Auroras, which usually appear in areas close to the poles. Intense energy charges ejected into space by the recent solar eruption reached Earth some time ago, resulting in stunning landscapes.

Solar flare creates incredible auroras

NASA astronaut Josh Cassada photographed the stunning landscape of my planet from the compartment on the International Space Station (ISS), flying an average of 400 kilometers above Earth. Cassada used the expressions “Absolutely unrealistic” for the photo she shared on Twitter. However, these are not the only landscape photos.

Meanwhile, auroras, also known as northern lights, are formed when charged Sun particles interact with molecules in Earth’s atmosphere. What causes this is the explosion, which is expressed as Coronal Mass Ejection, experienced in the outer atmosphere of the Sun, called the corona. These plasmas, scattered from the Sun into space, reached the Earth on both Sunday, February 26 and February 27, creating these auroral lights. Of course, astrophotographers did not miss these sights. You can check out the stunning images in the gallery below.
