See it on NASA's siteDouble auroral ovals were captured above the town lights of Östersund, Sweden. The green ovals appeared lower to the ground than the violet aurora rays above, creating a unique visual. Far in the distance, the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy slanted down from the upper left. These auroras were caused by plasma clouds ejected from our Sun.
