Mo's Iceland photosNitrogen FringeSometimes, an active <a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/aurora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aurora</a> can have a red, pink or yellow band along the lower edge of the <a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/auroral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#auroral</a> arc.I didn't realise I'd seen it until I looked back at some of our photos.

Mo's Iceland photosAuroral Cycle<a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/Aurora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aurora</a> goes through three phases: growth, expansion and recovery.The growth usually starts ≈ an hour before expansion. This is when we see a rise in the magnetometers and a subtle arc begins to appear over the horizon.Expansion is when the sky dances.In recovery, the intense activity of expansion is waning, the magnetometers are returning to background levels and the bands of light become discontiguous before fading away.<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/photography" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@photography</a><a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/Iceland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iceland</a> <a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/AuroraTuesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuroraTuesday</a> <a href="https://icelandphotos.co.uk/tags/AtOptics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtOptics</a>
