   SPOTLESS SUN SPARKS PINK AURORAS: For the past three days and nights, sky   
   watchers around the Arctic Circle have witnessed a strange display of pink and   
   white auroras. Many veteran observers say they've never seen anything quite   
   like it.  Stranger still, the display was ignited by a completely blank sun.   
   No sunspots were involved. What's going on?  Pictures and an explanation are   
   highlighted on today's edition of Spaceweather.com .

   Bright pink auroras over the Colville River Delta in northern Alaska. "This   
   was the brightest pink display I have ever seen," says photographer James   
   Helmericks, who took the picture on Dec. 25th.
