View from my driveway tonight. With these auroral bands, you have a maximum level of energy that is stored in the earths magnetic field. When these maximum levels are reached, it creates a breakup, or otherwise known as a corona. Where the magnetic bands swirl and break apart, releasing the concentrated energy into a more broad, mist like auroral haze.
But for those few minutes of eye watering wonder, it’s quite a good time.

Had my last official aurora tour of the season last night. We got hit by a CME during the day and we weren’t sure if it would hold until night time hit in Alaska.
Luckily we were in for a treat, with huge columns and deep red and blue colors covering the sky.

It’s been an amazing season, I’ll keep posting up photos here and there but it’s time to relax with friends and family for a while.
