Explanation:
Northern lights have
come to Florida skies.
In fact, the brilliant streak of a Northern Taurid meteor flashes
through the starry night sky above the beach in this sea and skyscape,
captured from Shired Island, Florida on November 11.
Meteors from the annual Northern
Taurid
meteor shower
are expected this time of year.
But the digital camera exposure also records the shimmering glow of
aurora, a phenomenon more often seen
from our fair planet's higher geographical latitudes.
Also known as aurora borealis, these northern lights are part of recent,
wide
spread
auroral activity caused by
strong geomagnetic storms.
In the last few days,
stormy
spaceweather has been triggered by
multiple Earth impacting
coronal
mass ejections and intense solar activity.
