A FINE aurora was seen at Bedford on Thursday night between midnight and one o'clock. It was brightest under the Polar Star near the horizon, where the colour was a pale green; whilst overhead the hue often changed to a rosy red. On directing a spectroscope at the most brilliant part, a bright green line (W.L. 557) was very distinct, and two or three faint nebulous bands more refrangible were visible; but the red line was not to be seen, though carefully looked for on the rosy parts of the aurora. Objects around were faintly illuminated as if by a young moon. At one time two very faint pale green streamers were seen stretching from the north to a little east of the zenith.
