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.

I envy you that experience.

I'm not sure if we have another chance at the aurora tonight, but I'll be sticking my head out the window just in case.

It's been too cloudy to see it here for the past couple of night (where I've been in the summer house with optimal observation conditions), and tonight I'm in Copenhagen so haven't got a chance, even if it should reoccur. :-(

If tonight's weather person is to be believed I'm a little too far south to see it. Helas!
