Northern Lights
 

There's a chance that we might just get a decent aurora (Northern Lights) show tonight.

Big 'solar storm' on Sunday sent a lump of plasma heading our way and it should arrive tonight / early tomorrow. The more northerly you are, the better your chances but its worth sticking your head outside later tonight and having a look northwards anyway. (There was a display a few years ago that was visible in Spain!)


If its not cloudy I suspect.:rolleyes:

Oooooooh thanks for the heads up. Is it at a rough time?

Re: Northern Lights
 

Dunno, twas posted on another forum I frequent. In fact the head up was from a fella in Scotland. Just says later tonight/early tomorrow

Just to add, I also read somewhere, that we should take a note in the sky at night for Mars appearing much larger than life this month. Apparently it will appear as big as the moon? Not sure about that, but am willing to keep an eye!
A spectacle that has never been seen in gosh knows how many years, and you'll never see in your lifetime or the next generation either.

Look up :-)

Oh my, I hope I see it up here.
That is the top thing in my "to-do" list.
