      Explanation: Gusting solar winds and blasts of charged particles from   
      the Sun resulted in several rewarding nights of auroras back in 2014   
      December, near the peak of the last 11-year solar cycle. The featured   
      image captured dramatic auroras stretching across a sky near the town   
      of Yellowknife in northern Canada. The auroras were so bright that they   
      not only inspired awe, but were easily visible on an image exposure of   
      only 1.3 seconds. A video taken concurrently shows the dancing sky   
      lights evolving in real time as tourists, many there just to see   
      auroras, respond with cheers. The conical dwellings on the image right   
      are tipis, while far in the background, near the image center, is the   
      constellation of Orion. Auroras may increase again over the next few   
      years as our Sun again approaches solar maximum.
