A coronal mass ejection (CME) struck Earth's magnetic field on March 24. The impact was weak and did not cause a geomagnetic storm. However caused auroras.
Guide Marrian Burghley from the Norwegian city of tromsø photographed colored lights on March 25, when the Earth passed through the trail of CME.
"It was a fantastic show!" said Burghley.
The coronal mass ejection has a relatively strong magnetic field. In this case, the footprint of the CME was magnetized almost five times stronger than the normal solar wind. These fields are in contact with the Earth's magnetic field and form cracks through which leaks the solar wind, making the atmosphere sparkle with colorful light.
"Here in tromsø, the nights are getting shorter, says Burghley. Soon the season of the Aurora over, but there is still time! I look forward to some more brilliant show in the coming weeks".
