Summary: A fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) that raced away from the Sun on Nov. 4th swept past our planet at 0150 UT on Nov 6th (8:50 p.m. EST on Nov 5th); the impact triggered a widespread geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers in many US states -- including Tennessee, Alabama, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas and California -- reported vivid red and green auroras.

	David Ryle, Wichita Falls, Texas, USA Nov. 5	#1	D. Ryle: "This picture was shot on Kodak Elitechrome 100 slide film, in a Nikon FM SLR camera, through a 50mm f/1.8 lens, for three minutes. The display started at 8:45 p.m. and died down around when the Moon rose at 9:30 or so. This was my first sighting of auroras, and my first photo as well."

	Jody Majko, near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Nov. 5	#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7	J. Majko: "The scene that blew me away the most is the image of the Moon and the blood red aurora together. I thought nothing would top last week's storm. Was I wrong! I watched auroras on the SOUTHERN horizon for a while. Then, all of a sudden, the entire sky lit up. Needless to say, I didn't go to sleep that night. And it was worth it."
