Summary[edit]

Description
English: NASA Television’s newest offering, NASA TV UHD, brings ultra-high definition video to a new level with the kind of imagery only the world’s leader in space exploration could provide.

Harmonic produced this show exclusively for NASA TV UHD, using time-lapses shot from the International Space Station, showing both the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis phenomena that occur when electrically charged electrons and protons in the Earth's magnetic field collide with neutral atoms in the upper atmosphere.

Polski: Film poklatkowy nakręcony z Międzynarodowej Stacji Kosmicznej przedstawiający północną (Aurora borealis) i południową (Aurora australis) zorzę polarną. Zorza polarna jest to zjawisko zachodzące, gdy tory elektronów i protonów emitowanych przez Słońce są odchylane w ziemskim polu magnetycznym, w wyniku czego zderzają się one z atomami w górnych warstwach atmosfery w okolicach biegunów Ziemi powodując świecenie.
Čeština: Časosběrné záběry z Mezinárodní vesmírné stanice, zachycujíci jev polární záře (Aurora Borealis a Aurora Australis), který nastává srážkami elektricky nabitých elektronů a protonů s neutrálními atomy v Zemském magnetickém poli v horních vrstvách atmosféry.
Македонски: Забрзани снимки на северната и јужната поларна светлина предизвикани од наелектризирани протони ни неутрони во Земјиното магнетото поле кои се судираат со неутрални атоми во горниот дел од атмосферата. Снимено од Меѓународната вселенска станица.
