Night on a Spooky Planet
Explanation: What spooky planet is this? Planet Earth of course, on the dark and stormy night of September 12 at Hverir, a geothermally active area along the
volcanic landscape in northeastern Iceland. Geomagnetic storms produced the
auroral display in the starry night sky while ghostly towers of steam and gas venting
from fumaroles danced against the eerie greenish light. Tonight, there is still a chance for
geomagnetic storms triggered by recent solar activity, so high-latitude skygazers should beware. And ghostly shapes may dance in your neighborhood, too. Have a safe and
Happy Halloween!
