A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on Feb. 18th, sparking a surprisingly widespread display of auroras. Northern Lights crossed the Canadian border and descended as far south as Nebraska in the United States. Photographs of the display and speculation about what made the solar wind impact so potent are featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com

Cheers

PS-

If Austin would have four seasons, we'd ship a few auroras down McMillan !
