Dragon Aurora over Iceland

NASA APOD · Jingyi Zhang & Wang Zheng
COSMIC MESSAGE

This dragon-shaped aurora over Iceland was caused by a hole in the Sun's corona. The hole expelled charged particles into a solar wind, which then followed the interplanetary magnetic field to Earth's magnetosphere. As the particles struck Earth's atmosphere, they excited atoms, causing them to emit light.
