This is what an aurora looks like when you step WAY back. You can't see a full auroral oval from the ground — the circle is far too big — but the SMILE spacecraft watched one swirling around Earth's North Pole from orbit, in ultraviolet light, for an hour straight. The solar wind, caught in the act. Credit: ESA/CAS/SMILE/UVI via NASA APOD

Explanation:
Have you ever seen a complete auroral oval? You can't see one from the ground because it makes too large a circle around one of Earth's magnetic poles. But spacecraft high above the Earth can see them. The featured video from ESA and CAS's robotic SMILE spacecraft shows not only a full auroral oval, but using ultraviolet light, one that occurred during the day. The time-lapse covers about an hour in late July and shows visually how variable and turbulent auroras really are. The points of light on the sides are distant stars that appear to move only because SMILE's camera view shifts as the spacecraft orbits the Earth. A goal of SMILE is to better understand how the Sun's wind interacts with the Earth's magnetosphere -- and so better understand how to protect astronauts, spacecraft, and ground-based electrical grids from solar storms.

Plenty of cloud about but enough breaks to get some strong colour on a balmy 15°C night in Aberdeenshire. Taken between 23:00 and midnight on the 4th of October #Aurora #Scotland

Aurora CFO says 30,000 driverless trucks by 2030 isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds

Self-driving truck company Aurora laid out an audacious plan for 2030. Its CFO says its targets aren’t aspirational.

Space Weather

A minor G1 geomagnetic storm is in progress.

Aurora may be visible down to upper mid-latitudes before the moon rises (before midnight), assuming you have a clear sky and if the Bz swings negative (it's currently positive at +8nT).

Substorms may cause local auroral enhancements.
