Red Auroral Corona

NASA APOD · Duane Clausen
COSMIC MESSAGE

This detailed red auroral corona appeared three days after a powerful solar flare, an X14-class event. The flare sent a massive coronal mass ejection into the solar system, creating a shock wave. This shock wave likely caused a G3-class geomagnetic storm, leading to a night filled with colorful auroras like this one. Such events highlight the connection between solar activity and Earth's atmosphere.
