August 3, 2010 - Unusual Denmark Aurora After Gigantic Solar Flare.

The
first coronal mass ejection energy hit Earth's magnetic field today at
approximately 1740 UT (1:40 pm EDT) after the entire Earth-facing side
of the sun erupted on August 1 with a huge solar flare. High-latitude
sky watchers should be alert for auroras now.

“Seeing the sun erupt on such a global scale has galvanized the international
community of solar physicists. Researchers are still sorting out the complex
sequence of events and trying to understand why they all happened at once.”

On August 1st, the entire Earth-facing side of the sun
erupted with a C3-class solar flare of many filaments of magnetism
that lifted off the sun's surface, along with radio bursts and a
coronal mass ejection. The green aurora above was photographed in Denmark
on August 4, at 56 degrees latitude. Image © 2010 by Jesper Gronne.
