Wisconsin Auroras
SpaceWeather.Com reports that. "A strong geomagnetic storm erupted on July 12th when Earth entered a high-speed solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole on the sun. "We were treated to an extraordinary show of Northern Lights," reports one observer in Wisconsin. "The lights were dancing wildly for about an hour and a half." Sky watchers in Minnesota, North Dakota and parts of Canada saw the display, too, in spite of the glare from a nearly-full moon. Earth is exiting the solar wind stream now and the chances for more such auroras this weekend are low. :: This Space Weather report is submitted for your signs in the sun (Luke 21:25) and signs in the heavens (Luke 21:11) files.
