APOD 1.3

Auroras, beautiful displays of color in the sky caused by the plasma clouds emitted by our sun impacting the magnetosphere with ionized particles. Even more uncommon is a double auroral, which are sheets of auroras combined but yet separated. These seperations, or curtains, are caused by black auroras, or anti-auroras between the curtains. These are quite literally caused by the opposite effect of normal auroras, as they are negatively charged particles that are sucked out of Earth versus toward it along magnetic fields. In this specific photo, the Milky Way galaxy is seen right above the aurora, adding to the overall beauty of this peace located above a pretty city in Sweden.
