Summary: On Nov. 19th the interplanetary
magnetic field near Earth titled south for eight hours, setting
the stage for a weak display of Northern lights over Europe.
Then a little-noticed coronal mass ejection swept past Earth
on Nov. 20th. Although it did not trigger a strong geomagnetic
storm, some sky watchers nevertheless spotted Northern Lights.

C. VenHaus: "I used Fuji Provia 400 film,
a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens, and shot for about 20 seconds. The show
lasted about an hour and then fizzled out." |

W. Hamburg: "I took this picture of a very
faint aurora at the coast of the North Sea between 20.15 and
20.45 UTC on the 19th of Nov. The aurora was only briefly visible." |
