Aurora Pictures from Norway
On March 6th, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) tipped south, opening a crack in Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind flowed in and bright auroras appeared over Scandinavia.
I should have posted this last week. You can check out more pictures at the spaceweather.com website. Here are a few nice ones. I swear if I saw this in the sky I would run away like a little girl.

Nick, did they mention why it was purely green? I thought the colors were supposed to vary based on angle and ion content of the atmosphere?
