| Summary: It's northern autumn and that means it's aurora season. The auroras on this page were triggered by a coronal mass ejection hitting Earth on Oct. 29th. The CME was hurled into space by one of the most powerful solar explosions in years--an X17-class flare from giant sunspot 486. See also the September 2003 aurora gallery.
