On the evening of 13th the Aurora Borealis was first noticed about 
8-1/2 Arch then formed with a dark cloud below it. It was quite 
bright without any beams playing up from the Arch - though beams 
were clearly seen at nearly the meridian, the space between the 
Arch and meridian having no appearance of the Aurora at all. 
Between 10 and 11 it was very bright without any beams.

Beautiful Celestial Display

Last Friday evening Ap 20 between half past 9 and 10 o'clock there 
was a regular arch of milky whiteness about ten degrees in regular 
width, extending from the northwest to the zenith, and with a 
short break extending in a direct line nearly to the horizon in 
the southeast. No corruscations from it were visible. Soon after 
ten there were eminations from the circle in the western side, and 
soon after it disappeared. There was afterwards during the night a 
very brilliant display of the aurora shooting up to the zenith in 
long waving electric sheets from every quarter of the horizon.

o'clock small streamers or beams shoot up flickering for a few 
seconds, then subsiding followed quickly by others with a like 
result. At 9:15 o'clock the beams grew longer or shot up higher. 
One shot up direct to the Pole Star flickering for perhaps a 
moment and then subsided, all the beams grew fainter as a dark 
colored cloud appeared which spread over most of the space 
occupied by the Aurora, when the Aurora shone quite bright in one 
or two spots just above the cloud.

There was a display of aurora this evening. It formed an arch 
resembling a light colored cloud from which the streamers shot up. 
At 6.45 p.m. the arch reached "delta" of the "Auriga" 
constellation. At 7.8 p.m. the streamers reached the zenith. At 
7.20 p.m. the arch disappeared and the whole of the Northern 
portion of the Heavens extending somewhat beyond the zenith 
appeared diffused with a faint light interspersed with streamers 
shooting up to the zenith or not so high. At 7.28 p.m. the arch 
reformed glowing brightly without streamers and at a short 
distance above the star before noticed. At 7.30 p.m. bright spots 
broke out beneath the arch and the arch soon disappeared and was 
succeded by a bright belt with no streamers and with lighter 
colored clouds beneath. At 7.35 p.m. the belt changed into bright 
streamers shooting to the zenith and the clouds beneath grew 
brighter. At 7.37 p.m. a bright cloud appeared at the zenith where 
the streamers centered from the whole of the Northern portion of 
the Heavens. At 7.40 p.m. streamers shot from south of the zenith 
into the cloud. At 7.44 p.m. the cloud at the zenith nearly 
disappeared. At 7.47 p.m. the cloud reappeared with bright patches 
glowing and subsiding alternately south of the zenith. After 7.50 
p.m. the display somewhat subsided. At 8.25 p.m. there were clouds 
and a few faint streamers in the Northern Reagons. At about 9 p.m. 
a black cloud appeared in the North.

light stretching more to the North than East, of moderate 
brightness, changing to dark colored clouds, and at 10 p.m. 
presented several clouds extending from a point in the North East, 
the first extending along the Northern horizon the next at a 
little angle and so until the last one which was nearly 
perpendicular in all five or six.

There was a very brilliant Aurora Borealis commencing about 8 
o'clock p.m. and continuing till about 11 o'clock - there was a 
dark cloud below the arch which was formed about 9 o'clock - above 
that it consisted of streamers of a blood red color and darting to 
the zenith - there was also a line of white light reaching over 
the whole heavens from East to West apparrently two feet wide - it 
was the most brilliant display of the season - of it the New York 
Journal of Commerce says "on Thursday night, about ten o'clock, a 
splendid phenomena appeared in the northwestern sky. The northern 
horizon had been luminous since nine o'clock with a faint Aurora 
Borealis which was continually changing from an apple green to a 
light yellow [I noticed no such changes] Sometimes delicate 
stripes of the latter tint at equal distances apart, would come 
and go, at a height of thirty degrees above the horizon. Suddenly 
a long streak of light shot up from a point where none of these 
shifting gleams of light had been seen before. It started about 
ten degrees above the horizon, and rose two thirds of the way to 
the zenith. It swelled towards the centre to a breadth of four or 
five degrees and then tapered off to a point curving in its shape 
towards the end." I noticed nothing of the last description but it 
probably corresponds with the line of light described by myself, 
it being about the same width and probably a change of position to 
New York would produce the dissimilarity.

tail. As near as I could judge from the time I first saw it its 
first formation was from the N. Eastern horizon.

[Date given as 8th or 9th. Taken here as 9th, consistent with 
other observations listed here.] On the evening of the 8th or 9th 
an Aurora light white with a tinge of yellow, and about the width 
of 4 or five moons, extended from about the horizon about W to N 
to the horizon about E by N. passing a little to the South of the 
Zenith, as seen at Newton Corner, about 10 miles west of Boston 
between 9 and 10 o'clk p.m. - appearance like a white sheet pushed 
together, sky clear but somewhat dark except a slight aurora 
northwardly. [PR]

Borealis - arch noticed soon after dusk. Quite bright with a dark 
cloud underneath. The corona was formed at 9-1/4 one of the most 
perfect and beautiful I have ever witnessed. Beams did not form 
noticeably till 10-1/2 when they formed rapidly and brilliantly. 
This continued for a few minutes only, after which the Aurora 
disappeared rapidly.

The most interesting phenomenon of the month was the brilliant 
aurora on the evening of Ap. 9. a bright arch extending from near 
the western to the eastern horizon - not in a direct line but a 
little zig-zag in two places. It continued about an hour, 
brightest at 9. p.m.

A little after 9 p.m. a brilliant white bow of 4o or 5o in width 
extended across the heavens, the western end resting on the 
horizon some 30o north of west, and eastern end directed to a 
point about 30o south of east. It passed some 10o or 15o south of 
the zenith, and pretty exactly through the body of Leo. At the 
time I saw it (9.45) the eastern end terminated as much as 20o 
above the horizon. It was sharply defined and very nearly 
stationary. In the west there was a parallel belt, about 8o or 10o 
north of the principal one, narrower and brighter, extending from 
the horizon to the height of 20o. The sky was perfectly clear 
except near the horizon. There was at the time a bank of auroral 
light at the north. The principal bow disappeared before 10 p.m. 
[Caswell]

At 9 p.m. sky clear, a belt of light several degrees in width 
extended from a point north of west in a line to the same distance 
south of east reaching nearly to the horizon. [Sheldon]

Aurora first observed at a quarter past 8 p.m. Bright rays extend 
to near the zenith from E to NW. Bright luminous patches suddenly 
form and disappear for about 10 minutes a little south of zenith. 
At 8.30' a bright luminous narrow belt extends from the eastern 
horizon to a little past the zenith. At 8.40 Narrow belt across 
the sky from east to west of extreme brightness and pointed at 
both ends at the horizon - wider in the middle. Light apparently 
in motion from east to west. At 9 the east end of the belt has 
passed a little further south, and rays shoot up from north, east 
and west in irregular broken fragments and meet at the zenith. At 
9.5' the belt passes a little further south and grows paler. At 
9.20' belt nearly gone, leaving a few bright streaks at an angle 
of about 45o from the south. Rays extend from SE to W. and cover 
the whole northern horizon. At 9.30' belt entirely gone. Patches 
of diffuse light fill the northern heavens and extend about 15o 
south of zenith. At 9.40' light grows paler and falls back to the 
north. On the whole it was a splendid exhibition.

On the evening of April 9th, I observed a very singular, and 
beautiful Aurora; - It commenced in the north, at eight p.m., in 
the form of a bright cloud, which soon extended round the horizon 
to the southeast; - From 8-1/4 to 9, the sky was filled with 
streamers, passing from all parts of the cloud to the zenith; - It 
extended from 10o east of [character illegible] East to 20o North 
of West, by compass, and 50o in height as near as I could measure; 
- Soon after its formation, streamers commenced to [one word 
illegible] from East to West, following the upper part of the arch 
from one horizon to the other; - Occasionally a number of 
streamers would start in the East, and move with a slow, majestic, 
waving motion over to the West, in an upright position; - This 
phenomenon continued for about twenty minutes, when the cloud 
disappeared, and a bright arch formed in the North 80o in height, 
with a dark cloud beneath; - At 10-1/4 the arch and cloud had sunk 
to within about 20o of the horizon, and seemed nearly level, with 
the upper edge of the cloud notched like the teeth of a saw; Above 
this appeared a bright narrower streak, that gave out light 
sufficient to cast a shadow as bright as the moon usually does, 
when four or five days old; - This also disappeared about eleven, 
and at twelve, nothing remained to be seen worth mentioning; - 
There were also some other circumstances that are perhaps worth 
mentioning; - During the continuance of the arch in the south, I 
noticed four or five stars of the first and second magnitudes, 
that had the appearance of having tails, or trains like those of a 
comet attached to them; these were from 8o to 10o in length, and 
all pointed to the zenith; these stars were situated just above 
the highest curve of the arch, and their cometary appearance 
continued while the arch lasted; - 

I also observed my compass needle to be very much affected; there 
was hardly any time when it was perfectly still, and very often 
varying from 6 to 8o on each side of the North point.

rising from behind a bank of cirro stratus clouds inthe North; - 
these commenced at a quarter of eight, and by nine the horizon

zenith; - At half past nine the Aurora had gained its maximum 
brightness. I observed no dark clouds or arches, with this aurora;

between 10 and 11 p.m. a narrow belt of auroral light of an 
average width of 1-1/2 or 2 degrees spanned the heavens like a 
rainbow. It extended from horizon to horizon, nearly from east to 
west, crossing the milky way at an angle (say) of 50o, and passing 
a little south of the zenith. About 10o above the eastern horizon 
it had a slight deflection northward, otherwise its whole extent 
was in a plane perpendicular to the horizon. Waves appeared to be 
passing slowly along it from east to west.

At 11 p.m. it appeared to be fading out and I ceased observing it. 
It had an apparently low elevation. There was at the same time 
just perceptible an auroral arch in the N. about parallel with the 
belt above described.
