Ejection into the Sun caused a flash of auroras

Yesterday, March 15, the KVM (solar ejection) hit the Earth's magnetic field. The impact was so strong that the aurora borealis flashed over both ends of our planet

"Red auroras lit up the sky over Lake Ellesmere in New Zealand," says photographer Mike White. "A strong glow persisted for an hour or so on the southern horizon, from time to time bright rays rose up."

Roman Banas photographed the red auroras near Bydgoszcz, Poland, at a distance of almost 18,000 km, but they are very similar to what was in New Zealand.

"The rays could be seen with the naked eye," says Banas. "It was strongest around midnight."

The CME that struck Earth on March 15 was ejected into space by the eruption of a magnetic filament on the Sun almost 4 days before. His arrival triggered a series of alternating geomagnetic storms.
