In Sweden's Abisko National Park, Chad Blakley has been an aurora tour guide for many years. "I believe January 2014 will be remembered as the best aurora watching month of my life!" he says. "Last night, for the 25th time this year, we enjoyed an amazing display of northern lights." He stepped outside his teepee for this comemorative shot: "The contrast of green lights in the sky and the red glow of the teepee was fantastic," he says. "Our eight guests really enjoyed photographing the display."
"With a little luck," Blakley adds, "tonight will be number 26 for the year." He might get his wish. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Jan 30th in response to a minor solar wind stream buffeting Earth's magnetic field.
