Sleeping Bear Bay Northern Lights

Today's Michigan in Pictures reports that NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (a great resource for alerts on the aurora borealis) says that the Earth remains under the influence of a September 27 coronal mass ejection (CME)  that has reached the G3 (Strong) level. Auroral activity is possible through tonight, and they were seen last night at least as far south as Cadillac!

Much more about this amazing phenomenon in the northern lights category on Michigan in Pictures and see more aurora borealis photos from Leelanau as well!

Check this out background big and in Kenneth's Sleeping Bear Dunes slideshow.
