This spectacular picture was taken above the skies of Northern Europe after NASA reported a possible solar storm that is approaching Earth. This is beautiful Aurora Borealis (which is another name for the Northern Light).
This was caused by magnetic activity which produced a series of explosions above the sunspot. It was labeled as 1105 and it was recorded by NASA's observatories. The very explosion sent a huge amount of charged particles towards the earth at a speed of 217 miles per second.
This fantastic aurora was created by a series of reactions between atoms and molecules in Earth's atmosphere.

This image was taken by an amateur astronomer Ojstein Ingvaldsen Lunde who took it in the city called Bo in the north of Norway. "I was getting ready to sleep when I saw this extraordinary phenomenon through the window. I grabbed my camera in a second and left the house to find the ideal position to take some pictures of that phenomenon."
Scientists say the northern lights phenomenon is difficult to predict because the direction of the solar storms is extremely unpredictable. Also, a number of different factors need to come together in order to see it in all its glory.
