| Summary: On July 24th, a weak coronal mass ejection from giant sunspot 652 buffeted Earth's magnetic field. The CME itself didn't trigger a strong geomagnetic storm, but the high-speed solar wind in the CME's wake did. The storm was fueled by a south-pointing interplanetary magnetic field.

#1, more | I was flying on a night flight to London, UK from San Francisco. I knew from spaceweather.com there was a chance of an aurora on the way. I have never seen an aurora before so was keen to catch one. Then I caught this just as dawn was breaking on the horizon, adding another dimension to the image. Canon Powershot A80 digital camera, 15s exposure, ISO200 (hence the slight graininess). |

The color in these auroras was very vivid for southern Washington. The show lasted at least 3 hours. |

It was the second night of the Island Star Party here on Vancouver Island when aurora was seen pulsing over the trees just before midnight. Here the Big Dipper is visible through the veil of the aurora glow. Photo details: Fuji S2, 16mmAF/2.8 Nikkor Fisheye, ISO 1600, F/2.8, 32 seconds. |

I went out at midnight, and in the next 2 hours saw an amazing range of color and aurora type. Very distinct green curtains with red & purple until 01:00, when they faded and started flashing, like ghostly shockwaves across the northern horizon. |
