NEW PHOTO PRINT GALLERY The Northern Lights at the Yukon on March 1, 2011 Sky watchers at high latitudes witnessed the most active Northern Lights in many years with long periods of auroral activity at minor to major geomagnetic storm levels. A high speed solar wind stream triggered this remarkable disturbance producing colorful auroras at the Yukon in Circle, Alaska. Printing and Mounting: Images are available in a variety of print formats (as large as 24" x 36") and paper types: Glossy, Lustre or Metallic on Kodak Endura Paper and Giclée - using premium, archival inks. In addition, various mounting solutions include float mounted Metal Prints, ready-to-hang Thin Wraps and Giclée Canvas. Visit the Aurora Photo Print Gallery |

ALASKA AURORA BOREALIS 2012The Northern Lights at Cleary Summit near Fairbanks, AlaskaIt was a fantastic Northern Light display during the morning twilight hours, following a strong solar wind shock at 12:37 UTC on March 15, 2012. Patiently spending a long night at Cleary Summit, I was rewarded at dawn by the appearance of very strange looking auroras - triggered by the onset of a major geomagnetic storm as a coronal mass ejection impacted Earth's magnetosphere.

CALIFORNIA NORTHERN LIGHTS - July 27, 2004High, middle and low latitude regions in North America witnessed strong auroral activity following the arrival of a strong coronal mass ejection late on July 26 associated with the long-duration M1 solar flare of July 25, 2004. Low latitude night sky watchers in Nevada, Utah and Northern California witnessed blue-red auroras early on July 27.8 aurora photos in this gallery / Location: Lake Berryessa, California |

AURORA IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - October 29, 2003Historic geomagnetic storm: Two powerful coronal mass ejections associated with X17.2 and X10.0 solar flares impacted the Earth on October 29-30 followed by severe to extreme geomagnetic storm conditions. Spectacular Northern Lights displays have been observed as far south as California, Arizona, Texas and Florida.9 aurora photos in this gallery / Location: San Luis Reservoir, California |

PERSEID METEOR SHOWER Rainbow Colored Shooting Stars - August 12, 2002Perseid meteors are fast and colorful shooting stars often rich in bright meteors with long-lasting trains and can be seen all across the night sky. During the peak of the shower, the rate of meteors typically reaches 60 - 80 per hour. The Perseid Meteor Shower is primarily visible in the northern hemisphere and with all meteor showers, the rate is greatest in the pre-dawn hours. Clear night skies in deserts and high altitudes (far from urban light pollution) are best for viewing the Perseids. Location: Sedona, Arizona8 meteor photos in this gallery |

THE 2001 LEONID METEOR STORM - November 18, 2001The display began on Sunday morning when Earth entered a dust cloud shed by Comet Temple-Tuttle in 1766. The Leonids of 2001 may be regarded as the largest meteor shower of our lifetime - more than 1000 meteors per hour rained over North America and Hawaii.Location: Mojave Desert, California 12 meteor photos in this gallery |

AURORA BOREALIS IN CALIFORNIA - November 5, 2001A powerful coronal mass ejection billowed away from the Sun on November 4 and swept past our planet on the following day. The impact was followed by severe geomagnetic storm conditions and visible auroral activity as far south as Florida, Texas and California. The Northern Lights are rarely seen at low latitudes, occurring only 3 - 6 times during the 11-year solar cycle. Location: Lake Berryessa, California11 aurora photos in this gallery |

THE
2004 PERSEID METEOR SHOWER Sky watchers at clear dark-sky viewing locations observed 60 to 80 meteors per hour during the peak of the annual Perseid meteor shower on August 11 and 12, 2004. A close encounter of a bright and colorful Perseid with the Pleiades can be seen in this image right above the silhouette of Yosemite's prominent Half Dome.
