NIGHT AFTER THE STORM: When a #CME hit #Earth on Sept. 18th, sparking a strong geomagnetic storm, it was just the beginning. Our planet's magnetosphere reverberated for more than two days after the impact. That's why this happened:
"The night after the big storm I was flying back to Europe," says photographer Ruslan Merzlyakov. "While over Greenland's ice sheet these amazing auroras appeared--even blue Northern Lights were there!"
The storm has truly subsided now, but auroras will soon return. Two more CMEs are en route for a new round of storming on Sept. 23rd and 24th
