By knowing how auroras react to the solar wind, scientists can better determine the impacts of space weather in the future. |
The colour and altitude of auroras provide a lot of information on the atmospheric gases that become excited. |
The Hubble Space Telescope has spotted auroras near the poles of both Saturn and Jupiter. |
And then last week another big storm that caused auroras and beautiful geo magnetic activity all over the world. |
Cassini also carries tools to study cosmic dust around Saturn, as well as the planet's auroras and its odd magnetic field. |
Although the solar wind produces beautiful auroras, it can also cause a variety of undesirable consequences. |
