In March 2013 I traveled to Fairbanks, Alaska and was fortunate to catch a large coronal mass ejection reaching Earth, resulting in some spectacular auroras. This band danced around and showed off some beautiful reds and greens in a way I don’t think can be explained other than to see it in person. If you ever get the chance I highly recommend it.
