A
strong solar wind stream approached the Earth a couple of
days ago (Jan 19, 20), which triggered polar geomagnetic
storms yielding a night light show 'to believe in.' Please

Sean
Micheal Scully took his photo between 10 and 11 pm (after
the moon had set) in Akureyri, Iceland. He writes, "The
auroras were extremely bright and intense at times; fast
moving curtains ranged in color from green to bright red
(and possibly purple). The displays became visible just
after sunset (~6 pm) and filled up to 80% of the sky." |
