Happy Monday, listeners. It's time to kick off the week by catching up on some science news that you may have missed while you were doing whatever it is you do.

For Science Quickly, I'm Rachel Feldman.

Over the weekend, not this past weekend, but the weekend before that, folks all over the world got to see rare auroral

displays thanks to the most severe geomagnetic storm since 2003. This amazing colorful phenomenon

happens when a burst of magnetized plasma, which is called a coronal mass ejection or CME,

spews out of the sun's corona and hits Earth's magnetic field.

That results in a bunch of extra energy in our upper atmosphere, which causes some chemical

elements to ionize. Luckily for us, that ionization creates a kaleidoscopic glow.

Unfortunately, many of us, myself included, which I'm totally not upset about, missed out on this light show because of cloudy skies.

If you're feeling kind of salty about that, I mean, I get it.

You can take comfort in the fact that the pics were a little more impressive than these lights probably looked in person.

Phone cameras are designed to use long exposures in the dark so that they can take in

as much light as possible to create a clear image. Human eyeballs just can't do that. So everything

looked way brighter and more saturated in those pictures posted by that one girl you went to high school

with, then they would have actually seemed to the naked eye. But if you still have your heart set on trying to see the northern or southern lights without

actually trekking up or down to one of those poles, your outlook isn't too terrible.

Solar activity ebbs and flows on an 11-year cycle, and this recent bout of space weather suggests
