Aurora Borealis
Northern Light Magic

About the photo: Northern lights sweep above a cabin in Abisko in northern Sweden on January 7. “The entire sky opened up like a beautiful inferno,” photographer Peter Rosén told spaceweather.com. “Red, blue and green like a dancing queen on the sky.”


The solar ejections that cause auroras can also create geomagnetic storms that can affect spacewalking astronauts, Earth-orbiting satellites, and even communications and power systems on the ground.

==================================


Since I watched Brother Bear, it has been my dream to witness the Northern Lights! Haaaaaay, kelan kaya yun? (When will that be?) Sobrang dream-come-true talaga pag nangyari yun! (It would be a dream-come-true!) Still crossing all my fingers and toes for this wish! Will forever be amazed by nature! Will forever be awed by phenomena like this! God, You indeed are great!
