Current events part 2, Solar storms

So I was going to review the Healy, but that will wait.  I saw the Northern Lights!!! Holy crap, what a thing to see!  Reports were that this was the biggest solar storm in 6 years, so I had to go. I left at 10pm, knowing the couple hours around midnight are best.  I saw a slight green glow around 11:30.  It took till 1am for much to happen.  Even then, the storm was mostly over and we were on the edge of the "auroral oval".    Here are some (rather bad) photos.

If you were lucky enough to live in Scandanavia, you got view like this:

Wow.  I feel a little disappointed in comparison.  But I know just how lucky I am!
