Scientific paper

A BRIGHT aurora was seen here last evening (October 2). When first observed, at 7.0 p.m., the arc in the north-west was very distinct; at the same time two cloud-like patches of light were seen in the north-east at an elevation of about 30°. At 7.10 the display reached its greatest brilliancy, narrow streamers extending upwards from the arc, as frequent intervals; several pale flashes of light taking place over the arc. At this time the light patches had been replaced by others, and several new ones had appeared rapidly, the whole series forming a large arc springing from the east-north-east point, and extending towards the west-south-west, at 7.20 nearly forming a complete arch. By 7.30 the sky had become much overcast; still the strong glow continued in the north-west, while a lighting up of the clouds indicated the continued occurrence of the light patches. At 9.30 the sky was clear again, and every trace of aurora had vanished. The light of the aurora was quite colourless.
