Solar cycle 23 comes to an end and solar cycle 24 has started, which means we are headed towards a much higher abundance of Aurora borealis. The last major storms occurred around 2000-2003 and the next maximum should be in 2011-2012. There were many great opportunities to witness this phenomenon at the last maximum and I'm sure the next will be as good or better![Pentax 67II, 35mm fisheye, NHG800]
