From Spaceweather.com, this beautiful picture of the
aurora. You really need to go and look at this picture on the website,
it's stunning. I see a figure in the picture
which looks like a heavenly being! Also looks like he has his arm extended
out to another figure. The reflection in the lake reminds me of 'as above,
so below'. Much we could say on the subject. Another sign and wonder
in the sky from the Lord of our soon departure. Keep looking up

EQUINOX AURORAS: On
Tuesday night, the sun's magnetic field near Earth tipped south. This opened a
crack in Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind poured in and fueled a
magnificent display of arctic Northern Lights:

Thilo Bubek took the picture not far from Tromsų, Norway. "We had some nice auroras," he says, with what can only be described as Norwegian understatement. "The clouds and calm sea contributed to a photogenic scene." This is the time of year when south-pointing magnetic fields from the sun frequently puncture our bubble of protection against the solar wind. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for equinox auroras. |
