Aurora Visible as far south as Michigan!

A stunning panoramic image of Lake Superior in Michigan taken by amateur photographer Shawn Malone of Marquette last night. Michigan was one of the US states which were lucky enough to get a full aurora borealis display last night as the solar tsunami disturbed the Earth's magnetic field

As expected, the sun's coronal mass ejection hit the earth's magnetic field early this morning. 

The accompanying aurora was visible as far south as Michigan as evidenced by the above photo taken of Lake Superior.
