Aurora seen from the ISS in Orbit






This aurora was caused by a massive Coronal Mass Ejection that left the sun on September 14th.




The eruption at more than 90,000 miles wide on the surface of the sun was so large that it could be seen without a telescope as a sunspot.

  3. Hi Mags, sorry for the delay, I have moved away to do some more WWOOFing and have had no internet access.
