Peake of the European Space Agency (ESA) captured this remarkable scene of the aurora on February 23, 2016.



Earlier, in January, the astronaut posted a series of aurora images taken from space on Twitter with the caption ‘Getting a photo masterclass from Scott Kelly - magical aurora.’


 


Aurora are one effect of such energetic particles, which can speed out from the sun both in a steady stream called the solar wind and due to giant eruptions known as coronal mass ejections or CMEs.
