The Southern Aurora | NASA
May 17, 2024

Today’s NASA picture is the lively aurora stimulated by the recent solar storm, as seen from near Christchurch, New Zealand. I can’t recall ever seeing a photo that captured so well the fact that the polar auroras are actually enormous rings around the earth’s magnetic pole, as usually only a small portion is captured by the lens.
