     Imaging being able to see this just by looking out of your window. How cool will that be? In this picture the an aurora unfolded in the backyards of citizens in Vallentuna, Sweden. Auroras were sighted and photographed on the 17th and 18th of March, some could even be seen in the Midwestern U.S.! These Auroras occurred as a result of coronal mass ejections caused by solar activity. These coronal ejections struck earth's magnetosphere two days later and caused this view.
