The solar wind is buffeting Earth's magnetic field and stirring up auroras around the Arctic Circle. A beacon of light from the John Lennon memorial Imagine Peace Tower pointed to the display over Reykjavik, Iceland, on Nov 11th:

 

 

"The combination of the beacon and the Northern Lights resembled a beautiful flower in the sky--a nice tribute to Lennon," says photographer Marketa Stanczykova.

 

More scenes like this are in the offing. NOAA forecasters estimate a 25% - 35% chance of geomagnetic activity on Nov. 14th and 15th when a CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.

So awesome, on so many levels. Please, take a moment and let it all sync in. B)
