Solar activity is near maximum for this cycle, and should remain so for the next year, so we ought to be treated with auroral displays throughout much of the country; on this night central Virginia experienced the aurora and my friend Megan Kendle got some great shots of it while out driving around with her husband Faron.  Thanks, Megan!  In this shot we see the aurora was in the east and southeast because she got Pegasus, Aquarius and Saturn in this picture.
