See it on NASA's siteSometimes, the sky lights up unexpectedly. This image captures a sudden, spectacular aurora over Steinsvik, Norway, in February 2014. The photographer had been packing up, disappointed by a quiet night, when the display began. Auroras are caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's atmosphere.
