NASA'S PICTURE FOR THIS DAY

“Dragon Aurora over Iceland” is copyrighted by Jingyi Zhang & Wang Zheng. NASA has permission to show it and we don't, so it isn't on this card.

COSMIC MESSAGE

A dragon-shaped aurora appeared over Iceland in 2019. This aurora was caused by a hole in the Sun's corona, which expelled charged particles into a solar wind. These particles then excited atoms in Earth's atmosphere, causing them to emit light and create this iconic display.
