| Description |
NASA video acquired August 1 - 2, 2010. Spectacular aurora lit the night sky from Europe to North America on August 3, 2010, thanks to a 12-hour long geomagnetic storm. The storm occurred as large clouds of charged particles from the Sun interacted with the magnetic field around Earth. As the particles zoomed along the magnetic field, they collided with and energized oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. When the energized atoms relaxed, they emitted light, providing a brilliant show.
