NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Auroral Storm over Lapland” is copyrighted by Juan Carlos Casado. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

Auroras lit up the sky over Lapland, a colorful display caused by a geomagnetic storm. Even though a solar flare had missed Earth, the Sun's increased activity still created this unexpected light show. These auroras were seen across northern regions, painting the night sky with colors.
