Thanks for the call of Paddy Larson at 12:21 am, informing me about the northern lights dancing on the horizon. I even made a pulpit announcement-somethings work when the time is right, and the wait was worth the effort. I told people to call me anytime they spot the northern lights in the sky be it even past midnight. I have been voicing my desire to see the Aurora Borealis. How did I get the alert of the magnificent phenomenon? Imagine the Sun shedding off extra light particles (coronal mass ejection – that’s the technical name) that pass from the north to the south pole. You can see Northern lights (aka Aurora Borealis) when the solar particles penetrate the Earth’s magnetic field. However, autumn can be the best time to see the celestial display of colors, like the equinoxes in the months of March and September, as the Earth’s tilt allows these lights to be seen more clearly. The sun is the source for the appearance of the northern lights. It can happen any time of the year, regardless of the temperature. The coldest nights are not a factor that the northern lights will be visible.
Alas, I missed the alert I never read the text. But I slept early to be fresh for the next day’s Sunday Service.
The text read: the northern lights are out tonight. As if this was not enough, Paddy Larson sent me a text at 12:17 am and Felix Reichel at 12:22 am. It was about a seventy percent possibility of seeing the northern lights until the dawn of February 7. On the coldest night of 2021, I receive a red alert issued by AuroraWatch.ca at 11:10 pm MST on February 6.
