I saw that over on SpaceWeather.com -- great photos, nice writeup, and the site had links to more pix.


What a spectacular display!

Incredible, but I'm having trouble deciding when sundogs become circumzenithal arcs become halos.

Thanks ever so much for sharing - I love this atmospheric phenomena stuff!!
