Aurora lights shimmering over Earth were filmed on camera by Russia’s Space Agency Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Kud-Sverchkov from the International Space Station on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“During yesterday’s strongest storm in two decades, there was plenty of red glow. It felt as if we were literally sailing inside that light,” Mr Kud-Sverchkov wrote in his Telegram channel.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon is caused by solar storms emitting high-speed charged particles colliding with gases in Earth\u2019s atmosphere.<\/p>\n

The most common colour seen during this display is green, although other colours such as pink and red are sometimes visible as well.<\/p>\n

On Monday night, the Northern Lights spectacle could also be seen across Irish skies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aurora lights shimmering over Earth were filmed on camera by Russia’s Space Agency Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergei Kud-Sverchkov from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385050,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[90,416,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-385049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-science","tag-space","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
