After I give you 500k will you arrange for me to see an aurora? I'm never seen one. We've been promised a few, but it's always cloudy. I'd settle for just a little one. Thank you in advance...
Of Course Adrienne. I will even pay for your airline ticket to Norway and accommodations out of the 500k. Remember it's just a loan that maybe won't get paid back.
Jist beautiful, Kid. I've heard the Aurora Borealis described as a "curtain," but I'd never see a picture before that showed that effect so clearly. What is the jagged peak in the front? Is to a mountaintop, or is it an iceberg?
Are the northern lughts always so GREEN, or do they vary in color? I have a very old children's encyclopedia in one volume from the imd-nineteen-forties with an "artist's conception" of the Aurora.. It's shown in every color of the rainbow.
The information in the book is so out of date it's absurd, but it's STILL one of my favorite things. I got it as a Christmas present before I even went to Kindergarten.
Hey! MERRY CHRISTMAS, Kid! Hope yours turns out great.
"The colors most often associated with the aurora borealis are pink, green, yellow, blue, violet, and occasionally orange and white. Typically, when the particles collide with oxygen, yellow and green are produced. Interactions with nitrogen produce red, violet, and occasionally blue colors."
I saw one once in Michigan over the Detroit Metro area when I was a teen. Impressive, and I wondered why it didn't happen here more frequently, but there was a huge sunstorm at the time.
ED, I've heard from other Michigan residents who have seen the Northern lights but it is few and far between. Has to be a very large event to be visible that far south. I've never seen one.

Yours too, Adrienne!
FT, I've seen pictures of Northern lights mostly in green but also in purple but not other colors. Other colors may certainly be possible.
DeleteThat is one of the very high mountains in Norway. And did you notice the guy standing on the peak? :)
Merry Christmas to you sir !
FT, Well here ya go...
