NORTHERN LIGHTS Astronomers have discovered a planet with white trees and green skies. It's Earth. Sacha Layos photographed the strange landscape last night in Fairbanks, Alaska.  The auroras appeared on Nov. 19th after a CME sideswiped Earth's magnetic field, turning skies green over Alaska, Iceland, Scotland, and Sweden. There was one more color: blue--as in "blue fingertips." Layos explains: "The temperature bottomed out at -25F where I was. Despite the extreme cold, however, it was a great show. What a welcome sight!" CME effects are subsiding on Nov. 20th, and NOAA forecasters have downgraded the chance of a geomagnetic storm today to only 25%. . |
