NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 February 2023: Beautiful Airglow over France

[ad_1] Auroras are one of the most visually stunning sky phenomena visible on Earth with naked eyes. The solar particles released during interaction of a solar storm with Earth's magnetic field further interact with the various gases present in our atmosphere and form stunning Auroras. However, auroras are not the only visually-pleasing sky phenomena. One other phenomenon takes place, but it is much rarer than auroras. It is known as Airglow.According to NASA, Airglow is a type of chemiluminescence from chemical interactions between oxygen, nitrogen, and other molecules in the upper atmosphere. It occurs in the form of dayglow and nightglow. Nightglow is more easily visible during the dark as airglow is just one billionth as bright as our Sun. NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is a s...

Solar storms spin-off! NASA shares breathtaking Aurora pictures above the Indian Ocean

[ad_1] NASA has shared a spectacular view of auroras spreading over the Earth caused by solar storms. Have a look. Solar storms can pose a great threat to Earth! The horrific Carrington Event in 1859 is one of the biggest examples of what Solar storms are capable of doing. From power, and satellites to radio communication, everything can be in danger. However, there is always a bright side too, and in this case, it is the fascinating light show at the poles. And NASA is making sure to deliver every possible view from space. This time, the space agency shared the latest images taken from the International Space Station of the southern lights or Aurora Australis above the Indian Ocean near Antarctica. Bob Hines, a pilot current...
