RED AURORAS

While this is not a red aurora, it most certainly is beautiful as is the church.

AFTER LAST WEEK'S "MASSIVE AURORAS," WHAT WILL THIS WEEK BRING? Arctic sky watchers are still buzzing about last week's 3-day outburst of Northern Lights. Many veteran observers ranked it as the brightest display they had seen in years. Photographer Ole Salomonsen was one of them. "On Friday, Oct. 9th, I was treated with perhaps the most massive aurora I have ever witnessed," he says. "They appeared right over my hometown, Tromsø, Norway."

With a huge coronal hole, we can be expecting some fantastic red auroras. Here is one from Norway by Håvard Larsen on October 7, 2015 @ North of Norway. Balsfjord

On October 12, 2015, Alan Dyer remarks:

The night of Oct 12-13, 2015, Canadian Thanksgiving, saw a fine aurora display which started about midnight as a well-defined bright but quiescent arc, the classic auroral oval across my northern horizon as seen from southern Alberta. Before I could get the camera going, the arc was already breaking up into curtains and streamers as a substorm hit. The display continued for over 2 hours of shooting and was still going when I stopped and turned in for the night! These frames are some of the 420 I shot for a time-lapse sequence. They show the occasional red streamers and the large-scale patchiness toward the end of the display when large areas of the sky were turning off and on.

Another red aurora ... mostly green with a tinge of purple.

NORTHERN LIGHTS: Earth is passing through a stream of solar wind flowing from a gigantic coronal hole on the sun. The passage is sparking Northern Lights around the Arctic Circle. Marketa Murray sends this picture, taken last night, from the countryside outside Fairbanks, Alaska:

One can see the Milky Way from left to center.

The glory of God shines forth ...

Below is another picture of this fantastic heavenly display of lights with the Milky Way across the entire sky.
