Lighting Up the Night Sky

Did you see the incredible display of the Aurora Borealis last night? I was traveling north on the Maine Turnpike just south of Portland around 11 PM last evening when I saw the unmistakable green streaks in the northern sky.

The Aurora display ranged from long green streaks high into the sky to short streaks far across the horizon. At one point the streaks glowed a bright lime green, like one of those Cyalume light sticks used for camping.

Wish I could have enjoyed the show more, but I was busy trying to keep the car on the road! Did anyone get photos of it?

Carey, I saw no such thing. Were you drinking voodoo juice or something?

Kidding.

Sounds very cool! Next time, take pictures for those of us who can't stay up that late!
