Professor and DEO Greg Howes explains the spectacular auroras that lit up Iowa on November 11 — why they happen, why they were visible so far south and what they tell us about the effects of space weather here on Earth.

The solar storm that impacted Earth on Tuesday, November 11 brought a display of northern and southern lights that dazzled onlookers in latitudes as far south as Texas and Arizona. In eastern Iowa, we were lucky to get completely clear skies and an auroral show that started early enough in the evening that many locals were able to watch and document the sky. In this article, Allison Jaynes explains auroras and geomagnetic storms.

University of Iowa Assistant Professor David Nataf will lead a NASA-funded research project focused on producing detailed three-dimensional maps for the study of exoplanets and their host stars.
