were unveiled at the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union today on December 17, 2009 in San Francisco. "Our jaws dropped when we saw the movies for the first time," said space scientist Larry Lyons of the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), a member of the team that made the discovery. "These outbursts are telling us something very fundamental about the nature of auroras." www.nasa.gov Credits: Toshi Nishimura and Larry Lyons/UCLA
