APOD 3.7

Aurora in the Backyard

See Explanation.  Clicking on the picture will download
 the highest resolution version available.

Taken on the night of March 17th in a town in Sweden, these auroral lights became visible to the Swedish people from their very own backyards.  It has been decided that these lights were visible due to the strong geomagnetic storm of the solar cycle.  This is the Carpe Noctem Observatory.

Godspeed,
Melanie
