Aurora as seen in central Virgina on June 23, 2015.
Earth is experiencing an ongoing geomagnetic storm that started on June 22, 2015 due to the arrival of an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, or CME, from a minor flare on June 20, 2015. Aurora were sighted in several mid-latitude locations, including Virginia, in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
“They really lit up the sky for a few minutes in central Virginia!” said photographer David Murr of Louisa, Virginia.
