We had an amazing show of the Northern Lights on May 10. I had seen the Northern lights only once before probably about 20 years ago in Royal City. We saw on the news the lights might make an appearance all over the world tonight and they sure did! I guess people saw them as far south as Florida. Pictures were all over the internet from all around the world. It was very, very neat.
I kept checking and finally about 10:30, I saw some flashes of green in the sky. Luckily, it was a Friday night so the kids and I didn't have school the next morning. I went and woke everyone up so we could watch. Jeremy had to work the next morning but we all watched for a little while. I stayed out for about an hour. This is a once in a 20 year experience! Not to mention it was actually warm outside! It seems these usually tend to show up in the middle of the winter at 3:00 in the morning so it's not something we see. However, it was 65 degrees at only 11 pm so it was worth it to sit outside and watch!
It was neat how the colors would just come and move around. It would go from green and then purples would show up. In general, the green seemed to be lower and the purples up above.
