Sunset and Aurora - a photo on Flickriver

Sunset and Aurora

When we first started to see the aurora borealis during twilight, we could still sunset color on the horizon!

The moon set a little bit north of west, so the bands of green aurora stretched east-west overhead, converging on the east and west horizons. That pattern continued all night. The brightest band often ran across the sky to the south of us (as in this photo).
