A solar flare on Sunday caused a radiation storm which hit the earth on Tuesday morning lighting up the Aurora Borealis. We sometimes see the Northern Lights here, usually a whitish glow that swirls slowly and sometimes sends up rays of light, though some old timers have seen curtains of color. I hope to one day. This display was confined mainly to high northern latitudes.

I have yet to see them...such an amazing thing, almost like living breathing creatures in the sky.

DeleteI like the reverence for the planet. Amazing. The name itself is sweet poetry.
ReplyDeleteYes it is. As is "aurora australis," the southern lights. Good to be reminded that they're up there.
