' By J. HUGH PRUETT Astronomer. Extension Division, Oregon Higher Educational System With increasing frequency there recently have come reports of splendid displays of the aurora borealis, or northern lights. Dur ing the final week of March this delicate luminosity across the dark skies was observed on sev eral nights and from many parts of the country. Simultaneously, telegraphic systems, and other means of communication suf fered their most serious disturb ances in many years. Auroras, telegraphic confusion and sunspots have long been known to be closely associated. The "spots" are usually blamed for the other two; but it may be ' that some unknown cause is re sponsible for all of them. These blots on the face of old Sol ap pear in greatest numbers at average intervals of about 11 years. Midway between these times of maximum spottedness, the solar surface is usually quite free from disfiguration. Since the last minimum occurred a lit tle over two years ago, condi tions are now building up to ward another maximum.- In creasingly spectacular displays of northern lights may confi dently be expected during the next few years. Although the aurora borealis is most frequent and at its best in the far northern countries, yet I at times it is seen as lar soutn as Mexico. On record are splendid displays around Los Angeles and across the country to Florida. An observation of the northern lights is most fascinating. In its simplest form, this phenomenon amounts only to a faint glow in a semi-circular band, which fringes the upper edge of an un usually dark segment of the sky directly above the northern hori zon. Then for greater showiness, long fingers of light may extend upward toward the zenith. These are usually a delicate white, but at times green and pink and yel low are seen. In greater gran deur, immense luminous draper ies at times seem to hang from the heavens, sometimes cover ing the entire sky. The splendid aurora of several more This topic will be further dis cussed in this column two weeks hence. morning of July 5, 1941. was described thus by Mrs. Marie McLean of Glengary, Idaho. by the load of "At first it seemed that bril-1 "re es ui uKm. liantly-tipped shafts of light were spinging to the zenith with incredible speed. As the moon set, these short shafts were seen to be more brilliant segments of complete concentric circles which were pulsating from every point on the horizon to that magnetic zenith. I faced the south for a long time. It gave one the feeling of standing inside a cool crystal globe en tirely surrounded by flumes. To me it seemed as though the luminous circles as they rushed toward the zenith repulsed e,ach nthpr nressine back the liKht 'ne into a more solid band which I stayed in that fantastic pattern until distorted into new forms WEATHER MIn.
