Here is a beautiful aurora sparked by the CME that hit the earth.
SOLSTICE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Dec. 21st, sparking a G1-class geomagnetic storm. For sky watchers around the Arctc Circle, the longest night of the year was filled with colorful lights. Truls Tiller sends this picture from Tromsdalen, Norway:
Beautiful, indeed ! Just in time, too, for the Feast of the Conception of St Anna.
It surely pays to live in northern Norway to be able to see firsthand all these wonderful displays !

"Vi var ute og leverte julegaver, bare måtte stoppe litt... 5min ble 5timer....," says aurora tour guide Marianne Bergli, who photographed the display in Tromsø, Norway. "God jul alle sammen." Translated: "We were out delivering Christmas gifts and just had to stop a bit ... 5 minutes became 5 hours. Merry Christmas everyone!"
