Red and Green Sky

The polar darkness is far from being dark!

Tonight a CME (coronal mass ejection) from the Sun hit the Earth`s atmosphere and produced some fantastic northern lights that played over the snow-clad landscape during all the night.

At some points during the night there was even some all-red auroras mixed with the green, which is not a common sight even within the Arctic circle. This looks very promising for the polar darkness period, which really ought to be called the polar lights period...

  5. Fina bilder Fredrik! Jag tycker det är häftigt när man får med så mycket rött i bilderna som du fått här (och som det var i slutet av oktober).
