Staying Up For The Aurora

[poliphilo]

Fred the weatheman said that thanks to the solar flares there was a fair chance of us seeing the aurora borealis last night. I've never (that I can remember) seen the aurora, so I stayed up on purpose just in case. There was no aurora- or if there was- it was happening on the far side of the light-polluted clouds. The aurora is green and the sky last night was blue and orange- which is just as nice, if you think about it- only rather more common.

It's very rare for the aurora to be visible in our neck of the woods.
