I cannot recall a picture of a more spectacular example: A Floral Aurora Corona

That is awesome. I have seen aurora that covered half the sky, but never anything that vivid.

Were you ever out in the Great Alone,
when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in
with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of the timber wolf,
and you camped there in the cold,
A half-dead thing in a stark, dead world,
clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green yellow and red,
the North Lights swept in bars?--
Then you've a hunch what the music meant . . .
hunger and night and the stars.
................From `The Shooting of Dan McGrew' by Robert Service
They rippled green with a wonderous sheen,
they fluttered out like a fan;
They spread the blaze of rose-pink rays
never yet seen of man.
They writhed like a brood of angry snakes,
hissing and sulphur pale;
Then swift they changed to a dragon vast,
lashing a cloven tale.

Maybe more like the old Homo erectus song "Fire in the Sky".
I have seen Aurora that big and complex in NWT Canadia in 1992, just south of the Arctic Circle. A lot of the Aurora was south of us in the sky.
I have heard that hissing noise and wasn't sure it was outside my head....
