Anyone who has ever seen a decent display of Aurora knows that it explodes to fill up the whole sky, typically during a geomagnetic storm. When that happens colorful pillars and bright bands dance and wiggle all over to the point where you don't even know where to look… unfortunately our eyes don't have a 360 view so in this particular situation the best way to avoid missing the whole picture is to lie down on the ground and just gaze up.The most impressive of all are the one that happen just above your head, this particular type of light is called ‘Corona’. All the pillars seem to converge into the Zenith (the point right above your head) because of the 3-D perspective created by the globe effect of the Earth. Actually it would be more correct to say that the light seams to stream outwards from a central point, much like when you are flying through a spacial vortex. Those of you who watched Star Wars or even Stargate will know what I am referring to. For this reason people that have studied or watched the aurora a few decades (even centuries) ago thought the overhead aurora described a crown (hence the name Corona). A big thank you to everyone who took time to comment and take a look at my photo. Much appreciated!
