Ring of Fire...And It's My Birthday!


Okay..so it's not a ring of fire as Johnny Cash spoke of...
It's an Auroral Ring.
From this perspective, the curtains of green light
seemed to hover above the Fall trees..
The ring was actually approximately 100 kilometers above the trees.

And YES!
It's my birthday today!
I will share with you what Tom and I did to celebrate...
Okay, maybe not ALL of the sordid details..
;-)

Have you freed yourself from all of the Glastonbury mud yet?

Hi Buffalo,
HA! Great idea!
I still have a card from my dad on my 7/7/77 birthday. How cool that was...don't remember the actual b'day, however.

Hi Celeste,
Glad you enjoyed the aurora!
And thanks for the b'day wishes

Happy belated birthday, love the ring of fire and it must have been a hell of a celebration if you still haven't posted the details. Ha.

L said...

Happy Belated Birthday!!!

Kayla said...

Hi Jlee,
Thank you! It was a very happy, yet (somewhat) sedate day

Hey DoGGa,
Yes, I remember I was a few yrs older than you..so how do you feel about "older women"? hehe
;-)

Hi $2,
It was quite a celebration..we always make a big deal of birthdays..and yes, I was a bit hung over the next day!

Hi Lori,

Hey Kayla...what is the sourse of that green ring/tree photo?

Anonymous said...

or source...whichever!

Kayla said...

Hey Jon,
Without trying to sound too much like Wayne from "Wayne's World"...here goes:
When solar wind encounters a planet, it has to flow around it. When this planet has a magnetic field, the solar wind sees this magnetic field as an obstacle, as protons and electrons cannot move freely across a magnetic field.
The distance at which the solar wind and the magnetic field of the Earth balance each other is about 60,000 km away, or 1/10 of the distance to the moon. The inside of this volume that is bounded by the solar wind is called the magnetosphere. When the magnetic field in the solar wind and the magnetic field of the magnetosphere are anti-parallel, the fields can melt together, and the solar wind can drag the magnetospheric field and plasma along. This is very efficient in energizing magnetospheric plasma. Eventually, the magnetosphere responds by dumping electrons and protons into the high latitude upper atmosphere where the energy of the plasma can be dissipated. This then results in aurora.
And Garth adds:
Excellent!

Kayla said...

Hi Lori,
I hear ya, girl
;-)

Hey Grunt,
The fact that you're here to say Happy Birthday is enough!
Salut

Kayla said...

Oh, and Jon,
If you want to know who took the photo, I can email the info to you
:-)

egan said...

Yikes, holy belated birthday wishes. It sounds like you had a good time. I do love me some sordid details, but I won't prod.

Dan said...

Happy belated Birthday you fellow Cancerian!

Phil said...

Happy Belated Birthday.
That's 4 people I know with the 7/7 B-Day

Kayla said...

Hey Egan,
Hang on..I'll get ya some sordid details soon!
;-)

Hi Dan,
Fellow Cancerian, Yay!
I had an old boyfriend who was reading my blog..I just wanted my privacy

Hello sweet Phil,
Thanks!
It was a "lucky" day or so some considered it such..7/7/07
I do remember my Dad commenting on my 7/7/77 birthday (written on a bday card)..and he gave me 7 silver dollars.

The Grunt said...

I'm sorry I missed your birthday, Kayla. I will make it up to you by tagging you. Visit me for the details.

Kayla said...

Okay Grunt,
I'll get to it pretty soon
:)
