Summary

[edit]
Description
Deutsch: Falschfarbenbilder von ultraviolettem Südlicht aufgenommen vom Satelliten „IMAGE“ der NASA überlagert auf wolkenbereinigte Bildmontagen der Erde aus der Blue-Marble-Serie
English: View of the aurora australis (southern lights), eight days after a record-setting solar flare sent plasma—an ionized gas of protons and electrons—flying towards the Earth. The ring of light that the solar storm generated over Antarctica glows green in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, shown in this image. The observations of the IMAGE satellite of the aurora australis are overlaid onto NASA’s satellite-based Blue Marble image. From the Earth’s surface, the ring would appear as a curtain of light shimmering across the night sky.
