| The brightest display so far I have seen. Space Weather News :IMPACT! "A coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth today, Oct. 30th, at approximately 1700 UT. Conditions are favorable for a strong geomagnetic storm as a result of the impact. The CME was hurled toward our planet yesterday by an X10-class explosion from giant sunspot 486. Sky watchers should remain alert for auroras". The auroras on this page (29-10) and 30-10 were triggered by a pair of coronal mass ejections hitting Earth on Oct. 29th and 30th. The CMEs were hurled into space by two of the most powerful solar explosions in years--X17 and X11-class eruptions from giant sunspot 486. After a series of major X flares (large explosions) and Coronal Mass Ejections on the sun spectaculair aurora displays were seen on 29 and 30 october 2003. During the evening of 30 oktober 2003 there was a three hour period with clear skies.In this period I did see and photograph (very) bright aurora! During a short period of five minutes the aurora light up the landscape brighter than the full moon! Large parts of the sky was full of aurora. As a result of that no shadows were seen during this period with very bright aurora's! |
