Share and Voice: New Aurora Pictures: Sky Shows Sparked by Sun Eruption

According to a story on the National Geographic website, this aurora borealis touched down in Sommarøya in Norway on September 8, 2010. These beautiful scenes are caused by explosive flares originating from a giant group of sunspots. According to the post "The flares send a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) racing toward Earth at 250 miles per second. When the particles smacked Earth's magnetic field on the eighth, auroral sparks flew."

I chose this news story because I think aurora borealis' are such a beautiful part of our environment.

Share & Voice: Bayfield Apple Festival.

The Bayfield Apple Festival is an event coming up this weekend, October 1-3. It has been  listed as one of the "Top Ten Autumn Festivals in North America" by the Society of American Travel Writers and also as one of "Discover Wisconsin's Top Ten Favorite Small Town Festivals."

This festival draws people from all over the area to come and taste all the ways that these delicious apples can be prepared. This is something to do with environment because apples are a healthy snack that many of us like to enjoy. Although not all of the things done with these apples are the healthiest, it is still a good event that helps local farmers get their product out into the community.

Not only are there delicious apples to eat, but a great chance to see this gorgeous area during the most beautiful time of year. It is a great opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of nature when we take care of it.
