A Memorable Aurora Over Norway

COSMIC MESSAGE

This aurora over Norway was one of the most memorable of its season, featuring green and red light, distinct curtains, and an auroral corona. The display filled the sky above Tromsø. Auroras happen when charged particles from the Sun interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.
