OFFICE LIGHTS
Imagine walking into your place of work, flipping on the light switch, and the room is flooded with green. Welcome to the world of nature photographer Oliver Wright, who has pitched his tent in Sweden's Abisko National Park for the winter. "This is my office for the next 4 months," he explains:.



"Great aurora in Abisko last night," says Wright. "It was a really big display with green lights moving quite quickly and some red fringing at times."

The display was caused by a solar wind stream, which hit Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 30th. For several hours, a G1-class geomagnetic storm lit up the Arctic Circle from Scandinavia to Alaska. "I am looking forward to more big displays in the months ahead," he says.

How about tonight? NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Dec. 1st as Earth slowly exits the solar wind stream.
