14248776 - This was the view as a multi-colored curtain of aurora formed to the south in my sky during the great display of Northern Lights on May 10, 2024. The Kp Index peaked at 8 this night bringing the aurora borealis and australis to wide areas of the planet including the tropics. This was from home in southern Alberta at latitude 51° North, where the aurora filled the sky but, as here, was often best and brightest to the south. The colours come from oxygen, nitrogen and sunlight creating the shades of green, red, pink, and blue.14248949 - An outburst of a substorm during the great May 10, 2024 display of Northern Lights, here creating an overhead corona with rays converging to the magnetic zenith (south of the true zenith), and amid clouds. The rays show a rich mix of oxygen greens and reds, as well as nitrogen blues blending to create purples. Some green and red are mixing to make yellows.13999107 - Officially this was no better than a weak Kp1 level aurora this night but for a time the Lights brightened enough to show colour even to the eye including the pink nitrogen fringe at the bottom of the curtains. This is looking north from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre on the first night of the first group of the 2023 aurora season for the CNSC.13897565 - A 360° fish-eye view of a sky-filling aurora on March 4, 2022 taken from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, Churchill, Manitoba. This is looking north but with the lens taking in most of the sky including the zenith at top where the curtains are converging and swirling, and near the Big Dipper. Note the subtle nitrogen pink fringe along the lower curtain.14249188 - This is a panorama of a substorm outburst during the great May 10, 2024 display of Northern Lights, here creating an overhead corona with rays converging to the magnetic zenith (south of the true zenith), and amid clouds.

A workhorse cover crop, vetch contributes nitrogen or biomass to a vineyard, protects soils from wind and rain, while improving structure and adding nutrients.14248830 - This is a 270º panorama of the May 10/11, 2024 great aurora display, when the Kp Index reached 8 this night bringing aurora to as far south as the southern U.S. Here, from my home in rural southern Alberta, Canada (latitude 51° N) we saw curtains strongly colored green and red from oxygen, but also pink and blue from nitrogen, with the latter colors unusually strong with pinks visible to the naked eye and purples and blues to the camera. Here the pinks stand out despite the extensive amount of cloud about.13898575 - A 300° panorama of an aurora from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba on February 26, 2022. This aurora was at Kp1 level (very low) and appeared only as featureless grey arcs to the eye. But the camera picked up unusual red colouration, and even some yellow-oranges, along with the more normal greens. The reds are odd for such a low-level aurora as the oxygen reds typically appear only when the aurora gets very active and energetic. The display did brighten more later this night when it took on the more classic green arcs, with occasional lower fringes of nitrogen pink13898079 - A dim aurora from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, in Churchill, Manitoba on February 26, 2022.

This was toward the end of the main activity of the show for me this night, at about 2:20 am. These distinctive blue rays appeared like this only at t14248916 - This is a series of images showing the evolution of the aurora borealis over about 80 minutes during the major storm of May 10/11, 2024. This version has the 12 images arranged in three rows of four. (There is a version with the images in a vertical arrangement of two columns of six.)13900301 - A 150° panorama of the auroral arc across the northern sky, shot from home in Alberta on April 27, 2022. The camera picked up the blue colour at the top of the curtains at left in the northwest from high-altitude sunlight illuminating the tops of the curtains. Otherwise, oxygen reds and greens dominate this fairly quiet display. Coincidentally, the arc of the aurora nicely follows the arc of the Milky Way across the north, then at its lowest for the year in the spring sky.70390512 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights and waxing moon over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek70390511 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights and waxing moon over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek70390513 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights and waxing moon over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek70641718 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights and waxing moon over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek70641714 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north 70641692 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north 70390519 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights with truckers lights on the ice road outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek n70641732 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights with truckers lights on the ice road outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek n70641731 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights with truckers lights on the ice road outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek n70641730 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights with truckers lights on the ice road outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek n70641719 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights and waxing moon over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek70641711 - Aurora Borealis Northern Polar Lights over the boreal forest outside Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, MORE INFO The term aurora borealis was coined by Pierre Gassendi in 1621 from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north 70195101 - Holm oak trees in Brozas, Caceres province.
