| Aurora to the left, city lights to the right |
The best display was before sunrise while I was still asleep. Fortunately, it persisted throughout the day, so I went out last night to have a look.
The Aurora Borealis as it is known (aka the Northern Lights) is caused by a curious interaction between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field. There is always an Aurora Borealis and Australis going on, but normally it is restricted to the Arctic and Antarctic circles respectively.
On occasion, a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) is directed at Earth. This stream of charged particles plays havoc with our magnetic field. As the particles collide with each other over Earth's atmosphere, photons are released. This is what creates the spectacular light shows that we see. The more particles there are hitting the Earth, the stronger the light show, and, usually the farther south it can be seen.
Last night, the aurora was seen as far south as North Carolina. Pretty impressive.

Wow. Beautiful shots!
Look at the way my partner Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL VIDEO.
As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the EXACT same methods tons of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and famous.
You probably know that you use only 10% of your brain.
That's mostly because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps that conversation has even taken place IN YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3 on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You took part in those questions, ain't it so?
Your success story is going to happen. All you have to do is in YOURSELF.
WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW
