After a seven year effort, astrophotographer, Kevin Palmer, finally captured the pictures in Wyoming he had been dreaming of: "Two days earlier the sun hurled a massive explosion directly towards Earth at more than a million mph. When it arrived, it caused the strongest geomagnetic storm since 2005. My widest lens, which covers a field of view of 115°, was not nearly wide enough. The entire sky pulsed in green waves like lightning. The raw intensity was humbling. I could see the ground by the light of the aurora alone."
