[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Have you ever wondered what the Northern Lights looked like from space? A Russian cosmonaut filmed this video from above Earth on the International Space Station. The lights were captured during one of the most powerful solar storms in more than 20 years, according to the National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Centre. 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.
