Solar Outburt Sends Northern Lights Way South


From markfreeman408

The skies lit up Monday night with an amazing show of dancing lights that are usually seen only far North. This was apparently caused by a solar outburst (coronal mass ejection)that interacted with the earth’s atmosphere and the magnetic field to produce an aurora borealis. The video shows the Northern Lights Over London, Ontario, Canada on Oct 24th 2011.
