We've been sent some really great images from the October 24th event. A coronal mass ejection hit the Earth generating some spectacular displays down to very low latitudes! Thanks to Isabell Hanske, Ed Santiago, Davin Martinson, Zoltan Kenwell, and Bill Trout for sharing images and videos!


 

Isabell Hanske took some great images (Click to enlarge):

"We got your email for the aurora watch, so we went straight in the car and headed eastbound on Highway 14. Around 10 minutes from Edmonton, on Range Road 220 we saw the Northern Lights. It was gorgeous."
