The really good pictures are from the spaceweather storms over the weekend.

VERY STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Multiple CMEs hit Earth over the weekend, sparking an ongoing geomagnetic storm. Storm levels are currently fluctuating between strong (G3) and severe (G4). This plot from NOAA shows the progress of the storm so far:

Last night, auroras were spotted in more than 30 US states as far south as Texas, Mississippi, Arizona, Colorado and California. The lowest latitude naked-eye sighting so far is +32 N. If the storm continues (a big IF), there could be a repeat display tonight, Aug. 12-13.

The light show occured during the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower. In Banner Elk, North Carolina
