Ledvina explains that the camera was overexposed since the aurora was so intense. To the unaided eye, it seemed incredibly green. When the aurora briefly becomes brighter and stretches equatorward, it is referred to as a substorm. The three stages of a substorm are expansion, breakup, and recuperation.
