Multicolored Aurora: Day 83


Our planet is currently passing through a river of solar wind that is spewing from a gaping hole in the sun, lighting up the northern skies with dazzling displays of aurora over the past few nights. While we could only see long curtains of green with subtle pinks, my camera set to a high ISO and long shutter speed revealed a rainbow of hidden colors. The geomagnetic storms were so strong my camera picked up multicolored displays of pinks, reds, and purples. Forecasters are calling for the auroras to continue into tomorrow morning for those living in higher latitudes.
