Spiral Aurora over Icelandic Divide

NASA APOD · Juan Carlos Casado (TWAN, StarryEarth)
COSMIC MESSAGE

This aurora, a great green spiral, is seen over the Icelandic Divide. Auroras are created by waves of charged particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field. In 1859, a strong pulse of charged particles from a solar flare caused auroras globally and impacted Earth's magnetosphere.
