Aurora visible

There is a nice bright aurora currently visible from Northfield Minnesota. (lat. ~+45*) It was first visible as a narrow, greenish arc about 20* above the northern horizon. Over the last 45 minutes it has brightened, grown more diffuse, and climbed higher in the sky. It is now quite bright, and reaching about 35* up from the northern horizon. Well worth going out and having a look.

Cheers,

It is now 1.05 am CST and the aurora has been storming for the past 40 minutes. Numerous curtains and very bright, fasst moving rays reaching past the zenith. It is obviously a major display. Mostly green however there have been patches of red at times.

Beautiful display.
