More than just a beautiful sight, the aurora is the visible manifestation of massive electric currents that thread near-Earth space and inject billions of Watts of electrical power into our upper atmosphere. The aurora affects our atmosphere and possibly our climate, and provides a ringside view of fundamental plasma processes that pervade the universe. It can also pose a threat to technology in space and on the ground.

极光不仅仅是一个美丽的景象，它是巨大电流的可见表现，这些电流穿过近地空间，并将数十亿瓦的电力注入我们的高层大气。极光影响着我们的大气层，甚至可能影响着我们的气候，并提供了一个充满宇宙的基本等离子体过程的全景。它还可能对空间和地面技术构成威胁。
