Aurora Sub-storm March 15/16, 2012 (timelapse and gallery)
The flank of a CME hit Earth’s magnetic field on March 15th around 13:00 UTC. The impact sparked a moderate (Kp=6) geomagnetic storm. Beautifull auroras colored sky into March 16th. Here are some images and great timelapse-movie.
Just outside Edmonton, Alberta, photographer Zoltan Kenwell started day early with aurora display appeared on March 16th. He made a series of short timelapse movies.

I am astonished but not with the beauty of the photos. I’m astonished because of ignorance of today’s man who is so blind that doesn’t see what it is about. And, it is only one of the sing among many others, the sign of the Earth changes. Please, do not think such things happen for our eyes, they happen because thing in nature are changing. The Changes of the Planet. In which direction is that going to lead us, we’ll see.
It is beautiful, but that beauty is dangerous. A man should be more careful.
I was able to get an animation from the Southern Hemisphere of the aurora on the 16 March 2012 you can see them here http://youtu.be/eKNht9gD6S8
