Space Storm: Crew Dragon Astronauts Retrieve Rare "Wriggling" Aurora Borealis from Orbit (2 photos + video)
The crew of the Crew Dragon spacecraft captured stunning footage from the International Space Station of an anomalous aurora caused by a powerful solar flare. Instead of the static or smoothly shimmering green glow familiar to Earthlings, a powerful stream of solar wind caused the planet's geomagnetic field to literally pulsate. The published video clearly shows giant emerald and purple ribbons of light rapidly twisting and swirling in fantastical spirals just above Earth's atmosphere. This cosmic spectacle not only delighted internet users with its stunning beauty but also provided valuable data for scientists studying the behavior of superstorms in the upper layers of the ionosphere.
