Hey Folks,

Last night I got to see the Aurora Borealis for the first time here in Kansas. I was so excited!

I missed the AB 4 or 5 times before I got to see one last night. It wasn't as spectacular as the one that appeared Sunday night (I missed that one). But at least I got to see it and get to say "I saw an AB in Kansas!"

It was wonderful..so awe inspiring. That shows me that G-d is wonderful...He does a little bit of every single thing.

I looked up in the sky and said, "Thank you Jesus" then the shooting star went across towards the AB. Then the AB gradually disappeared. Man, what a night.

My very first time to see AB was when I was on the plane enroute to Rome 2 years ago, we flew near Greenland and I got to see them out of the window. Pretty awesome.

Have anyone of you seen it yet? And tell me about your experiences and how you feel about it.

I saw them Sunday night.

We started watching from ~9PM, and continued from time to time till we wwent to sleep. But I peeked out ~ 1AM, and it was so spectacular that I woke my wife! The lights were great, but the structure and dynamics were just amazing. The streaks and sheets would ripple and flow in a seemingly coordinated manner over the breath of the sky in the course of seconds. Just amazing. I talked to an astrophysicist the next day, who said that these dynamics are not yet understood at all!

What a wonderful gift from our Lord. I guess it adds new meaning to the statement "light up your life."

Shane, you know how good the view is from our perch. Althoug we get to see it more often as we are farther out of town, it is always just incredible every time.

Slava Bogu.
