On Halloween in 2003, the sun unleashed a series of spooky storms, which ignited lots of ghostly looking auroras, and effected power grids, satellites and other electrical equipment. On the fifth anniversary, NASA takes a look back at the Sun.

I think I saw the auroras but I didn't know what they were at the time. I just remember seeing something odd in the sky at about that time.
