在瑞典斯德哥尔摩以北约20公里处,明亮的月亮在这个冰冻的湖泊上投下阴影,冰面在歌唱。在2月10日拍摄的迷人的夜空中,闪烁的极光幕在夜空中舞蹈。在那个北方的夜晚,大自然的表现包括由轻微的地磁风暴造成的极光展示。暴风雨的太空天气是日冕物质抛射的结果,日冕物质抛射是几天前从日珥喷发出来的,并掠过我们美丽星球的磁层。

The ice was singing as light from a bright gibbous Moon cast shadows across this frozen lake, about 20 kilometers north of Stockholm, Sweden, planet Earth. In the alluring night skyscape captured on February 10, shimmering auroral curtains of light dance in the evening sky. On that northern night nature's performance included the auroral displays fostered by a minor geomagnetic storm. Stormy space weather was the result of a coronal mass ejection, erupting from a solar prominence days earlier and brushing our fair planet's magnetosphere.
