Aurora In Nova Scotia

While driving home at approximately 6:50 PM Atlantic Time (5:50
Eastern) I noticed a huge ray of greenish light extending to the SE
from the NNW. I thught that it might be a cloud reflecting moonlight,
but the shifting shape and shimmering confirmeed an aurora was active.
By 7:30, there was an auroral crown just South of the zenith, and a
deep red aurora extending from the NW to the eastern horizon. there
were rays, beams, and shimmering sheets and detached glowing clouds!
Quite simply the best aurora that I have ever experienced, and
certainly the most colourful! There was a second peak at around 8:30
with an auroral crown and the red prominent in the east. to the south
there was a green auroral "blob". By 9:15, the show had ended, with a
slight glow to the north, and a blob to the south. By 9:45, all glows
had faded.

Wow!
