Stargazers
across much of North America were treated to an incredible
Northern Lights display on Sunday, November 7. It was one of the
more intense shows I've ever seen. The type of aurora
photographed here is categorized as corona; rayed arcs or bands seen
directly from underneath, so the light seems to beam out like a
sunburst in all directions. Just to the left is the Pleiades or
Seven Sisters open cluster. The Hyades is the V-shaped cluster
just to the right of the tree. |
