"...PURPLE AURORAS: Over the weekend, the sky above Canada and many northern-tier US states turned purple. It was the aurora borealis, sparked by a CME impact during the late hours of June 7th. "Wonderful purple and blue auroras spanned the sky, peaking between 2 and 2:30 a.m. MDT on June 8th," reports Alan Dyer, who captured the colors outside an old barn in Alberta, Canada:
In auroras, purple is a sign of nitrogen. While oxygen atoms produce the green glow in Dyer's image, the purple comes from molecular nitrogen ions at very high altitudes. For some reason, high-altitude nitrogen was unusually excited during this G2-class geomagnetic storm, and many people witnessed its telltale hue.
More purple could be in the offing. A solar wind stream following in the wake of the CME has kept Earth's magnetic field unsettled two full days after the CME's impact. Solar wind speeds are now greater than 500 km/s, prompting NOAA forecasters to boost the odds of a polar geomagnetic storm on June 9th to 50%. Aurora alerts: text, voice

WAITING FOR AN X-FLARE: Sunspot AR2080 s now squarely-facing Earth, an arrengement which could lead to a geoeffective X-flare. The sunspot has a 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong eruptions, and it has been growing rapidly alongside several companion spots. These developments are shown in a three-day movie from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:
As the sunspots have ballooned in size, they have attracted the attention of sunset photographers. This snapshot, submited by Mila Zinkova of San Francisco CA, shows the sunspots bizarrely distorted by atmospheric refraction beneath a lovely green flash.
Now if only one of them would flare.... NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% chance of M-flares and a 15% chance of X-flares on June 9th. Solar flare alerts: text, voice..."

"With the G2 and so many stars becoming visibly illuminated, here's a very time appropriate article by the Thunderbolts Project:
https://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/2014/06/09/cosmic-lightning/
"According to the Electric Universe concept, stars are not globes of hot gas under pressure, they are composed of plasma. Plasma is ionized, electrically charged substance. Supernovae are the result of a stellar “open circuit” in the galactic power supply!!! The energy of an entire interstellar circuit might flash into the explosion, increasing its expansion far from the surface of the star. Radiation from the double layer then shines in ultraviolet, X-rays, or bursts of gamma rays and radio waves. 'Electromagnetic jets' from stars and galaxies are probably indicative of lightning discharges, as well."
Invisible sub-atomic particles, neutrinos, caused by a supernova gamma ray burst, can travel much, much faster than lightspeed. So tiny in size, they are able to penetrated through earth's atmosphere at a certain angle and have fairly recently been detected lodged miles deep in the Antarctic ice.
These cosmic ray particles, some call sprites (so-called illusive, mysterious sparks), cause pink/purple lightnings, an electrical discharge, that can trigger a significant solar electron particle effect to an electrical grid and the earth's crust itself (and obviously affects all watery super-conductors on it, people, animals, and plants) especially during massive CMEs (solar flare that becomes a solar wind when it leaves the Sun's "surface"). It's nice to know we have assistance within the solar system :)
And "Aurorae are electrical events caused by charged particles carried by solar wind, that align with magnetospheric openings at the north and south poles." Recently visible on much lower latitudes at least in the US! Magnetic pole shift anyone? I am not referring to a catastrophic scenario, but a gradual shift in the orientation of Earth's axis, the 26,000 year axial precession. Btw have you noticed the Sun setting "further north", it's become undeniably noticeable."
My 2 comments in response:
Delete1. The last house I lived in for 3+1/2 years 2008-2012 was surrounded by Arboretum woods, across the street from Bussey Hill (Boston). The first 2 years the sun NEVER shined into the front yard late in the day before setting behind the hill. The sun used to always fall behind the hill BEFORE it hit the front yard. During the 3rd summer, I started noticing sunlight in the front yard late in the day, which had not occurred in previous years.
Then I started looking on line and discovered YouTube videos of Native Elders speaking about how the setting sun has moved to a different location. More recently I have seen this mentioned in mainstream news, how Magnetic North has migrated about 40 miles a year in recent years.
Eskimo elders speak about the sun not in the same position as before

"I have lived here all my life and I have also watched the sun. Where it rises has not changed much but the sunset has shifted way over. Perhaps the earth has tilted on its axis."
Another elder: "The earth has changed its tilt. I don't know exactly when it happened. But I do know the sun used to set closest to the highest mountain peak. After the shift, the sun now sets past the highest peak."
They go on to talk about tongue drifts (snow) have diminished and the orientation of the stars has changed, 2 things used for night navigation while hunting. They also speak of how the winds have changed, the East now dominant, rather than the North wind, with South winds also increasing in frequency.
Earth changes! I assume it is the Pole Shift we knew was coming, but not a catastrophic one, but a gradual change. We had a remarkably long, tough and cold winter this past season, not only here in the Northeast, but all over the USA.
