Sweden is known worldwide as an ideal viewing location for Aurorae, and this stunning Aurora in Kiruna, Sweden proves this perfectly. This aurora greatly resembles an immense flag hanging over the countryside. This aurora was the result of a recent Coronal Mass Ejection, which passed through a channel in the Earth's Magnetic Field. The result- a beautiful aurora featuring a variety of vivid colors.
