Got a look at a fairly nice aurora from Maynooth this evening. This was by no means a massively spectacular aurora like the ones you see in books but it was still very nice. There was a red glow on the north west horizon and white auroral bands over head and in the northern sky. It was also a fairly stable aurora which is less awe-inspiring to watch than more dynamic aurorae.<\/p>\n

BTW, if you want to keep up with the most recent cool aurora pics keep an eye on the gallery at www.spaceweather.com<\/a>. The gallery for this month<\/a> has some very impressive images, my favorite being the one below:<\/p>\n
