Aurora Borealis

Last night we were treated to a display of the northern lights aka the aurora borealis. Ever since the unusual recent weather on the sun, I have been waiting to see them around the Twin Cities. Last night they finally showed up. They were an intense green, with unusually sharp edges and creases. I wanted to get some photos but I hadn't spotted them until 10:45. I tried with the digital camera, but the 4 second exposure just wasn't enough. Annoyingly my camera has a bulb setting, but it requires one to keep the shutter depressed and there is no way to set it with a timer or use the remote in that situation. So if you want photo's check out SpaceWeather.

There are some natural phenomena that really capture me. The northern lights are one. I can almost hear music when I see them.
