Wow!

Well, that was what I thought when I saw this picture of the Northern Lights taken in Alaska. If you haven’t heard there was a huge solar flare that hit Earth on Wednesday of this week. This celestial spectacle in the sky above Alsaka is a direct result of this. I think it is beautiful and I wish I could witness it live. I have since I was a boy growing up, maintained an interest in Astronomy though in recent times it has waned. Any of you northerners seen anything like this? Have a good Friday nite all.

    October 31st, 2003 at 9:59 pm I’ve seen Aurora Borealis quite a number of times but never that brilliant and colorful. I have a web friend in Alaska and this friend told me of seeing Aurora so bright and beautiful this week… Good to see a photo of it.

    November 1st, 2003 at 12:53 pm My camera is not advanced enough… I do not have the shutter control I need for night shots. ( I’d otherwise be doing it. I did try on more than one occasion to take photos of Aurora with my camera - but they look completely black when I go to view them.
