Northern Lights and climate change
December 12th, 2007 climate change
From a NASA website comes a rather fascinating article about the Northern Lights. Occasionally we get a chance to come across some rather brilliant displays here in Vermont. My first and most memorable display was caught one summer eve from the Point of Pines on Lake Bomoseen - more than 35 years ago!
Apparently recent satellite data reveals some very new facts about the Aurora Borealis - these displays are tightly bound to the sun-earth magnetic fields and pack a lot of energy into the process.
