Quest to Photograph Canada's Northern Lights From Earth and Space Begins Today:
AuroraMAX Connects to the International Space Station
Montreal, Quebec, February 2, 2012 –
The AuroraMAX Online Observatory and the International Space Station (ISS) are on a quest to capture the Northern Lights from Earth and space as part of a new pilot project to compare and share images and videos of Canada’s aurora.
ISS astronauts Don Pettit and Dan Burbank will be on standby for the next six weeks to photograph the Northern Lights for AuroraMAX, a public engagement initiative dedicated to promoting the science and the splendour of the aurora borealis. AuroraMAX is a collaboration between the University of Calgary, the City of Yellowknife, Astronomy North and the Canadian Space Agency, and features an online observatory that broadcasts the aurora live from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
When the forecast calls for active aurora, AuroraMAX alerts will be issued to invite skywatchers to view the auroras live online, while the astronauts on board the ISS photograph the aurora over Canada. After each session, the astronauts will beam their images back to Earth and within 48 hours, the public will be able to compare the imagery captured from Yellowknife with photos taken from the vantage point of space from the ISS.
Since the International Space Station orbits Earth at about 370 km in altitude—and the curtains of light stretch from around 100 km to well above 400 km—the pilot project will offer the public an astronaut’s eye view of the aurora. If the simultaneous Earth and space imagery is successful, the project might also shed light on some of the mysteries of this natural phenomenon, like why auroras form particular shapes.
Thanks

NOUVELLES SPATIALES La chasse aux aurores boréales du Canada depuis le sol et l’espace est ouverte Montréal (Québec), le 2 février 2012 – L’Observatoire en ligne AuroraMAX et la Station spatiale internationale (ISS) se sont donnés pour mission de photographier les aurores boréales à partir du sol et de l’espace dans le cadre d’un nouveau projet pilote visant à comparer et à partager des images et des séquences vidéo des aurores du Canada. Pendant les six prochaines semaines, les astronautes de l’ISS Don Pettit et Dan Burbank se tiendront prêts à photographier les aurores boréales pour AuroraMAX, une initiative de participation publique dédiée à la promotion de la science et de la splendeur des aurores boréales. AuroraMAX est le fruit d’une collaboration entre l’Université de Calgary, la Ville de Yellowknife, Astronomy North et l’Agence spatiale canadienne. Elle offre un observatoire en ligne qui diffuse en direct des images des aurores boréales saisies à Yellowknife, dans les Territoires du Nord-Ouest. Lorsque les prévisions annonceront des aurores actives, des alertes d’AuroraMAX seront diffusées pour inviter le public à voir les aurores en direct, pendant que les astronautes à bord de l’ISS saisiront des images de l’aurore au-dessus du Canada. Après chaque séance d’observation, les astronautes transmettront leurs images au sol et, dans les 48 heures, le public pourra comparer les images saisies à Yellowknife et les photos prises depuis l’ISS dans l’espace. Étant donné que la Station spatiale internationale survole la Terre à environ 370 km d’altitude – et que les rideaux de lumière s’étendent d’environ 100 à bien plus de 400 km d’altitude – le projet pilote fera profiter le public du point de vue des astronautes pour admirer les aurores. Si la saisie d’images de la Terre et de l’espace est couronnée de succès, le projet pourrait même nous aider à percer les mystères de ces phénomènes naturels, comme les facteurs qui donnent aux aurores leurs formes particulières.
