#AURORA :  "Celestial Dragon"



"Persistence definitely pays off, especially when its forecasted to be cloudy the whole night. But the clouds finally gave in to reveal the beauty behind it--an Aurora borealis! What a great night for Alaskan photogs today! I believe this was a KP 7 as reported by someone from the group. It was definitely out of this world. I havent seen this since September so its been long overdue and Im glad I didnt miss it!

Well, SUPERB WORK, Sun! ☀ WAY TO TURN ON THOSE LIGHTS! PLANETARY K-INDEX from www.SolarHam.com & AURORA PHOTOGRAPH snaPPed by Sarah DAngelo & posted on www.SpaceWeather.com: "This is a 4 shot panorama taken at the Twin Tank Lakes in Paradise, Michigan. I was excited as the Kp was at 7 and the Bz was a little bit south. The aurora is so unpredictable, though, the lights were not as high in the sky as I thought theyd be but they were still gorgeous!" #SUN #AURORA #LightsON https://goo.gl/3pSXBT

What are the prospects for northern summer meteor season this year? The best warm-weather weeks for watching meteors in the Northern Hemisphere always begin around now. The season peaks from late July to about mid-August. But, right now, the moon is waxing toward full. The July 2013 full moon – on July 22 – will be another supermoon, and it’ll drown the beginning of the 2013 summer meteor season in its glare. Meteor aficianados will be waiting for the days after full moon, when the moon will be waning and casting less light in the sky. The best time for watching summer meteors in 2013 will probably begin around the first week of August.
