Ces derniers jours ça a été un festival d’aurores… australes (hémisphère sud) ! Elles se produisent quand les particules chargées émises par le ☀️ interagissent avec la haute atmosphère de la Terre, toujours sous des latitudes élevées. Je n’en avais pas vu d’aussi puissantes pendant ma première mission… La lueur verte se reflète carrément sur la Station ! Je pense, honnêtement, que c’est le plus beau spectacle que la nature puisse donner à voir. Un vrai #micdrop de Mère Nature !

These last few days have been auroraspectacular! This amazing light show occurs when particles from the Sun hit Earth's magnetosphere, we were very lucky to see such outbursts and I don't remember such beautiful displays during Proxima. I think it is the most amazing thing I have ever seen that nature can give us. It is beautiful to see and photograph but also a visible show of our planet's atmosphere protecting us from radiation. I shot a few timelapses that will follow, it is another thing to watch the aurora dance! To be continued...
