Our planet is on Aurora alert after a coronal mass ejection that was let out last Friday is expected to reach us today,Coronal mass ejections occur when the Sun releases enormous amounts of radiation and highly magnetized particulate matter from its surface.
On Earth, we do not directly receive the energized particles or radiation from the Sun since the atmosphere block most of them. When it does, particles in the upper layers of the atmosphere get highly energized, leading to the formation of auroras. Recently astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti shared some images of auroras, which according to her recent experience of staying 300 days in orbit, resulted from the most powerful solar storms she had encountered in space.
The Sun has been really active lately. Last week we saw the most stunning auroras I have ever experienced in over 300 days in space!
