Explanation:
The auroral displays of the past week are being
reported as some of the most
beautiful in
memory.
In particular, impressive
auroral bands fanned out over much of
eastern North America after sunset on November 8.
The multicolored aurora
pictured above was caught reflecting in one of the
many small lakes in central
Wisconsin
near that time.
Continued solar activity might create
more aurora visible over the next few nights as the
Leonids meteor shower peaks.
News flash: NASA air breathing jet sets
new air speed record.
