Descrição:
This NASA image shows the Aurora Australis observed from the
International Space Station on May 29, 2010.This photo was taken during
a geomagnetic storm that was most likely caused by a coronal mass
ejection from the Sun on May 24, 2010. The ISS was located over the
Southern Indian Ocean at an altitude of 350 kilometres (220 miles), with
the astronaut observer most likely looking towards Antarctica (not
visible) and the South Pole. The aurora has a sinuous ribbon shape that
separates into discrete spots near the lower right corner of the image.
While the dominant colouration of the aurora is green, there are faint
suggestions of red left of image centre. Dense cloud cover is dimly
visible below the aurora. The curvature of the Earth's horizon is
clearly visible, as is the faint blue line of the upper atmosphere
directly above it. Several stars appear as bright pinpoints against the
blackness of space at image top right
