Aurora in Alberta Canada 13 Aug 2000

Aurora in Alberta Canada 13 Aug 2000 at about 0200 MDT - Energy and particles from the Sun impacts Earth's Magnetosphere and generates lovely Aurora and Natural-Radio Signals - the radio sounds of "Space Weather."


Aurora photo

Photo of gorgeous aurora over northern Manitoba, Canada resembling a tornado in appearance - taken during Manitoba Solar-Minimum VLF Expedition - 25 August 1996. Central Manitoba, Canada is the truly best place, in late summer when it is still warm, to see gorgeous aurora, and much closer to travel to than distant Alaska. If you wish to witness this incredible spectacle for yourself (it is life-changing if you are the rare person whom still loves nature/Earth), you don't have to wait until the cold of winter to go northward to see aurora it you head for central Manitoba or Saskatchewan, Canada in late August or early September.
