We were treated to a show last night for the first time in what feels like ages! It was short, but intense! People managing to be in the right place at the right time were Matt Melnyk, Zoltan Kenwell, Joern Rohde, Chad Steeves, Adam Taber and Kevin Sharman, who have shared some fantastic photos. Thanks to all.

There was the potential of a large display over the weekend, with a CME colliding with the Earth's magnetic field. However, the impact turned out to not be very large - not large enough to trip AuroraWatch alerts. However some people managed to capture a sighting! We've also been sent some great images from a previous event on March 17. Thanks to Kevin Sharman and Chris Brooks.

We've been in a bit of a go slow as far as auroral displays are concerned - especially since we're at solar max! However, we were treated to a little show over the weekend! Thanks to Paul Zizka, Darcy Conn and Denise Chambers for sharing these images!

We've been sent some great pictures from the most recent alerts. It has all been a bit quiet this year, considering we're at solar maximum. However this solar cycle seems to be quite quiet generally (there are natural variations). Hopefully things will become more active as the year goes on! Thanks to Kevin Sharman and Mike Isaak for the images!
