Impressive shots: looks like the Aurora from space

The picture was taken from the ISS.

Astronaut of the European space Agency (ESA) Thomas Sands, who is currently aboard the International space station on his Twitter page published a picture of the Aurora.

The Aurora appears as a result of collision of the charged particles of the solar wind with the upper layers of Earth’s atmosphere.

As a rule, a similar phenomenon is observed in the polar regions of the planet.
