Go to: LIGHT SEASON The Northern Hemisphere aurora season arrived with the September equinox, but strong geomagnetic storms already pushed the Northern Lights as far south as North Carolina earlier this month. In Finland, Tom Eklund snapped this sneak peak on September 11. He noted the "wonderful sky and lake conditions and just marvelous lights" on his Web site, http://personal.inet.fi/koti/tom.eklund/aurora.html. (09/25/02)
