Our Explosive Sun

While waiting for the skies to get darker and the northern lights to be seen again, why not read about the source of the auroras in the new popular science book: "Our Explosive Sun - A Visual Feast of Our Source of Light and Life" by renowed astronomy researcher and writer Dr. Pål Brekke at the Norwegian Space Centre.
The book is scheduled for release in September/October and covers most aspects of our stormy star - The Sun - and there is, of course, a section about the Sun-Earth connection and how the Sun creates the amazing northern lights.

The book can be ordered here: http://www.springer.com/astronomy/extraterrestrial+physics%2C+space+sciences/book/978-1-4614-0570-2
