– When we first collected all the measurements – ultraviolet light, electron, plasma density and gas density – and discovered the image that emerged, we looked at each other and said: “But these are the Northern Lights!” , He says. Anders Eriksson of the Uppsala Institute for Space Physics on the radio.
According to Eriksson, who is one of the researchers behind the study, it is not possible to see the phenomenon of light in Comet 67P without advanced measurements as the light is drenched by sunlight. The measurements were made by ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft of the European Space Agency, which completed its mission in 2016.
– We are now sitting on a huge pile of data that we are still analyzing. We will continue to do so for a long time, says Eriksson.
