APOD 1.5

This is an image of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, found in Norway. These lights came about as the result of a coronal mass ejection, a type of solar storm, impacting the magnetosphere and causing solar storms. The aurora borialis is a widely known example of the beauty of our universe. I would love to one day be able to travel and see it.
