It's towards the end of the season; soon the sky won't get dark enough for auroras, and already now a blue glow is visible on the northern horizon throughout the night. It starts out with a typical growth phase where a southward drifting arc indicates that energy is building up in the magnetotail. The following substorm is not a very distinct one. The energy appears to be unloaded only partially, and relatively bright and structured aurora continues after the brief, substorm-like event. Unfortunately, the time lapse was interrupted in an untimely manner by a coating of ice forming on the camera lens.

Odds are better north of the AK Range, perhaps especially considering the weather. Nevertheless, Anchorage does get these displays too. Keep an eye on the night sky and you will see it too sooner or later. :-) This year has been pretty quiet though because we are at the minimum of the sun's 11-year activity cycle.

Charged particles accelerated in the magnetosphere and plunging into the atmosphere following magnetic field lines. This is how CRT monitors work too, btw (bombarding a fluorescent screen with accelerated electrons).
