Chandra observed the Earth 10 times over a four-month period in 2004. From the ground, the aurora are well known to change dramatically over time, and this is the case in X-ray light as well. The X-rays in this sample of the Chandra observations, which have been superimposed on a simulated image of the Earth, are seen here at four different epochs.
