next stop the twilight zone...
The aurora started off as a normal aurora (but still awesome), with the brilliant rivers of green streaming overhead, but just after midnight the G4 solar storm hit the earth and the aurora exploded into a brilliance of colors and pulsating aurora that could be seen in all directions. At the top of this image the aurora corona can be seen as the full force of the G4 (out of G5) storm hits the earth after midnight on the morning of the 24th. It was so mesmerizing to watch, I don't know how to describe the power and gracefulness of the sun's fury...it was like I was being pulled into a worm hole, it was like the sky was falling down all around me or how about this one...(queue the music)
"You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost (aurora corona) up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!" credit to The Twilight Zone :) see other images of the aurora corona below...
