WTH? Aurora in MD?
Hey everyone!
My name is John and I am not very active in the Astronomy Science. First time visiting this group. My question is... I am living in rural MD right now and last night I was looking out my window (to the north) and saw a very green streak in the sky. I went outside and looked further and wondered if this could be the Aurora Borealis. Then I saw Red with streaks and vertical lines going directly up to the center of the sky. Was this the Aurora? I have been wanting to see it for many years. It was a beautiful experience and I think I may be hooked. Well the rest is just more deep information about me so you can cut off your reading now. Actually I did visit a observatory on many occasions over a 3 month span when I was in Cape Canaveral FL taking engineering classes over the summer. It was at BCC and they had a nice little observatory with a laser show with popular music artists. A small little club with about 8 people got to use the telescope whenever they wanted too and I use to visit them on the weekends alot. Oh well... Any information on the Aurora (or links) in MD would be greatly appreciated. Thx, John |

The sun's been really active, and there was a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) a couple of days ago.

Go here for current Solar Activity: http://www.spaceweather.com/ i'm surprised that there isn't more comments on it. it was the nicest auroral show that i've seen in probably a decade. i watched it from south of cape cod where the air was very clear, but once we got to the coast the clouds rolled in. sheets, streamer and streaks, mainly green, some red and a little blue. i wish i had a camera. there was a particularly dense cloud that transitioned from green to red right over the pleades. |

I shot some pics with my camera. But I have a sony DSC-T1 with a little little lens so I don't think anything will come out. I will see when I process them sometime. John |
