Spectacular Aurora night

[Scosmico]

I knew it was in the realm of possibilities, but nothing prepared me for last night. A combination of solar storm, new moon, clear skies and no light pollution delivered jaw dropping aurora displays.  Certain times I was actually looking overhead and southwards to see the display. Memorable! Spaceweather.com tells about auroras seeing as south as 29N. First time I have seen red auroras. They were so, so bright, deep, and lasted continuously for hours, full display of colour and structures with the naked eye.
