The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. [link to science.nasa.gov] |

Hi, gogo, That glow is some kind of small reflection in the telescope. It appears to move around because it's actually the Earth that's moving around. Astronomers (professional suntards) compensate for the Earth's tilt angle and rotation by using sophisticated tracking mounts. Also the images are re-oriented to show solar North at the top. Like the moon, it appears slanted due to Earth's tilt and your point of observation--so they correct for all those variables.

| Hugh M Eye User ID: 9692556 United States01/27/2012 02:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went looking back to see what triggered those October aurora in Alabama. There was no advance magnetic storm warnings and the CME was thought too far north to be geo-effective. CME was caused by a filament eruption on the northwest limb and we were told possibly a "glancing blow". The K-index rose to 6=Storm level and red auroras were seen very far south. Though largely un-anticipated, it was more geo-effective than the last two halo-CME storms which were directed straight at Earth.

I must admit I haven't been following Earth weather as close as solar weather, lol. Yes, I was outside a bit ago as the sun broke through the gray-black stratus clouds and it was getting gusty. Methinks this normal wind behind a low pressure zone. What interested me was the geese were all flying North.
