Aurora
I hope that you all managed to get outside tonight to see the Aurora Borealis. I happened to be delayed in work this evening, which turned out to be a lucky thing, since I was treated to the shimmering, ethereal light in the northern sky. (If I had left work on time, I would have been subjected to the shimmering ethereal light of Coronation Street instead).
As luck would have it, the display had lessened considerably by the time I got home, so I didn't bother take any snaps. As I write this, the display has increased again, but I'm too lazy to go outside to take any photos. If you are in Ireland, I hope you can find a patch of darkness, and stand watch the waves of stardust crash against the coast of the northern sky.
UPDATE: A series of photos, taken in Coleraine, can be seen here. (Via Jaffs Trumpeting)
