Amazing! How beautiful and fascinating.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.
MORE AURORAS IN THE OFFING? Earth's magnetic field is still reverberating from the CME impact of August 3rd, which sparked auroras as far south as Wisconsin and Iowa in the United States. Analysts believe a second CME is not far behind it, due to arrive on August 5th. A second impact could re-energize the fading geomagnetic storm and spark a new round of Northern Lights. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.
Beautiful display of solar eruptions speeding through space bouncing off our planet earth – akin to skipping a stone across the pond and watching the ripples spread.
The bigger question – What is making the sun have these spectacular eruptions? I have to wonder if we have been "side-swiped" by a dying star / Super Novae. Polar heating/melting, wicked and irregular weather patterns, etc. Could it be a cyclical event that happened 26,000 years ago and experienced by the Mayans? I wonder if there are any drawings or writings from history that would describe the same-like-events – overall heating up / lakes, rivers, oceans, drying up?
Beautiful. Nice pictures with the stars and northern lights shimmering over the water. I haven't seen them since I was child in Wisconsin.
The effect is ethereal.
Simply breath taking, thank you for posting these. In awe, of beauty, always.
Spectacular picture – the beauty is just awe-inspiring.
Unbelievably beautiful
