A massive geomagnetic storm that hit Earth last night resulted in a stunning display of solar explosions and dazzling Northern Lights.
The category four storm — the second-highest severity level of five — was caused by a huge solar flare, triggered by interactions between Earth’s magnetic field and charged particles from the Sun. Astronaut Scott Kelly captured a shot of the haunting red and green-tinged aurora from his vantage point onboard the ISS.
