      Explanation: This almost otherworldly display of northern lights was   
      captured in clear skies during the early hours of March 31 from 44   
      degrees north latitude, planet Earth. In a five second exposure the   
      scene looks north from Martinique Beach Provincial Park in Nova Scotia,   
      Canada. Stars of the W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia shine well above   
      the horizon, through the red tint of the higher altitude auroral glow.   
      Auroral activity was anticipated by skywatchers alerted to the   
      possibility of stormy space weather by Sun-staring spacecraft. The   
      predicted geomagnetic storm was sparked as a coronal mass ejection,   
      launched from prolific solar active region 2975, impacted our fair   
      planet's magnetosphere.
