Geomagnetic Storm Aurora: Cosmonaut Kud-Sverchkov | International Space Station
Expedition 74 Station Commander and Cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov captured these historic views of aurora over Earth from the International Space Station. These were captured during one of the most powerful solar storms in over 20 years, according to the United States National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center.
The last solar radiation storm of comparable severity was recorded in October 2003. Auroras are caused by solar storms emitting high-speed charged particles colliding with Earth's atmosphere, creating vibrant light displays.
