National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (opens in new tab) to assess the severity of space weather events - Daisy Dobrijevic The geomagnetic storm peaked as a severe G4 on the 5-grade scale used by the U.S. The aurora was triggered by a powerful solar storm that slammed into Earth on April 23. "It was great to show the people gathered nearby the colors on the camera and then the wonderful display in front of us! It made up for a cancelled stargazing experience due to clouds at our original destination." Trow continued. and the most wonderful auroral display emerged in front of me," Trow told in an email. "The night sky exploded into life around 11 p.m. Trow's image also includes the moon and Venus conjunction shining bright on the left side of the colorful scene. Monday, April 24, 2023: Allan Trow of Dark Sky Wales captured this delightful aurora display from Rhigos Mountain, South Wales, U.K. (Image credit: Allan Trow of Dark Sky Wales) – Tereza Pultarova 's Tereza Pultarova takes part in a parabolic flight simulating lunar and Martian gravityĪurora from Rhigos Mountain, South Wales, U.K. was exclusively invited to be part of this flight. Pesquet was one of the four pilots in charge of this flight and came to test the wheelbarrow during his piloting break. There is only one such plane in Europe, the Air Zero G airbus operated by French company Novespace. Although the researchers tested the vehicle extensively on Earth, the only way to experiment with it in lunar gravity, for which it was built, was to put it on a plane capable of flying parabolic flights that can produce reduced gravity. The vehicle, essentially a high-tech lunar wheelbarrow officially called LESA for Lunar Equipment Support Assembly, or Lunar Evacuation System Assembly, has been developed by a team of scientists from the European Astronaut Center in Cologne, Germany.

The image shows a bridge of stars, nebulae and interstellar clouds that are not visible to the human eye and can only be revealed in their full beauty in dark regions unpolluted with urban light, such as the Chilean mountain tops. The photo was taken by Czech astrophotographer Petr Horálek during the recent NOIRLab 2022 Photo Expedition to all the NOIRLab sites, NOIRLab, which released the image on April 26, 2023, said in a statement (opens in new tab).

In the foreground of the image, the Russian Nauka multipurpose laboratory and Prichal docking module can be seen, as can the Soyuz MS-23 crew capsule.
The Richat Structure is a geological feature in Mauritania consisting of concentric rings of sedimentary rock left behind by a volcanic dome that formed and eroded far back in Earth's history, exposing the ring-like layers of rock seen in the image taken by ISS. Wednesday, May 3, 2023: Cameras aboard the International Space Station (ISS) gazed down into the Eye of the Sahara, also known as the Richat Structure, on April 26, 2023. (Image credit: NASA/Johnson Space Center) At left, from top to bottom, are the Nauka multipurpose laboratory module's forward port, the Prichal docking module, and the Soyuz MS-23 crew ship. The Richat Structure, also known as the "Eye of the Sahara," can be seen from the International Space Station as it orbited 259 miles above the African continent.
