Northern Lights across the sky
13 November 2012 - Tuesday
I wasn't quite speechless this evening, but almost.
Instead I kept muttering, "Wow! WOW!"
The aurora borealis display was absolutely amazing.
My head was spinning as I watched the lights shift quickly.
The tripod was also getting a good workout as I moved about the
property and also turned north, south, east and west. Usually
the
lights are visible to the north and east.
On this evening,
the lights
were in all directions!
According to http://spaceweather.com/ the geomagnetic storm resulted in more red in the lights. Early in the evening the redness was visible, diminishing as time passed.
This formation was likened to a giant butterfly by a friend
The butterfly shifted
The butterfly collapsed into a swirl of colour very quickly
Streaks danced
To the northwest a brilliant green band appeared
This band moved very quickly
My impression is of an eel swimming by
Subtle reds
The red diminished
The colours relaxed
By 8:30 p.m. the sky had become more quiet.
