Space guests, or how I filmed the new time-lapse.

The peak of aurora borealis when passing over the Antarctic in Australia's longitude, meaning in between them. However, in the video, you will see something else, not only the aurora. pic.twitter.com/Hdiej7IbLU

“In the ninth to twelfth seconds, five objects appear, which fly in a parallel course at the same distance from each other,” he wrote.

The astronaut wondered what it was: meteors, satellites, or something else.

Wagner said that he brought the information to the leadership of Roskosmos, TsNIIMash and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
