Aurora Borealis ALERT

[Greebe]

I doubt that Jord (or could you imagine the the news of that?!). Hopefully this time around we'll have a spectacular show

Hey we can have a Barbi Invite a few Aliens from seti

Hey Mike, how did you do that? I was answering on the second message about the mass coronal ejection, and now my answer is in front of the subject.... are you a wizard?

NASA Science News for July 14, 2000

A powerful solar flare on July 14th triggered an intense radiation storm in the vicinity of Earth.
The eruption was followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection that is expected to strike Earth's magnetosphere as early as Saturday. The impact could trigger Northern and Southern Lights bright enough to be seen in spite of this weekend's brilliant full Moon. Such a display is by no means guaranteed, but it is possible.
Observers across the Pacific could be in for a very rare treat: the sight of shimmering colorful aurora during the total lunar eclipse of July 16, 2000.

Anyone get a peek where they live?

The only funny lights we get to see in the sky lately are the rare occurances of the sun and the moon.

The first of several coronal mass ejections now heading toward Earth hit our planet's magnetosphere between 0500 and 0600 UT on Nov. 26th.

Geomagnetic activity could become severe during the next 48 hours as one shock wave after another reaches Earth. We encourage sky watchers to be alert for auroras at middle- and perhaps even low-latitudes. The new Moon will afford dark skies for spotting faint Northern Lights.

More rainy nights due then so far it's never failed!!!

The sky's always Orange here from light pollution....

Well tell the buggers to turn the light off when they leave.

Space Weather News for Dec. 19, 2000 http://www.spaceweather.com

METEORS & AURORA: Sky watchers who venture outside to view the Ursid
meteor shower Thursday night or Friday morning might also spot aurora
borealis. A coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on Monday is likely
to buffet Earth's magnetosphere later this week. Forecasters estimate a
20% chance of severe geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives.

NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS: A newly-discovered near-Earth asteroid, 2000 YA,
will pass just two lunar distances from Earth on Dec. 22nd. There's no
danger of a collision, say scientists, but the small space rock will be
near enough to see through large amateur telescopes or through small
telescopes equipped with CCD cameras.

Space Weather News for Sept. 25, 2001

AURORA ALERT: An interplanetary shock wave spawned by Monday's powerful
solar explosion swept past our planet at approximately 2100 UT (2:00 p.m.
PDT) on Tuesday, Sept. 25th. The solar wind velocity soared from 400 km/s
to more than 800 km/s in a matter of minutes as the shock wave sped by.
Earth is still inside the resulting high-speed solar stream and auroras
are possible tonight even at low latitudes where such displays rarely
happen. Sky watchers are advised to look for Northern Lights after local
sunset. Local midnight is usually the best time for aurora spotting but if
a powerful geomagnetic storm develops bright auroras might be visible at
any time of the night.

Bugger more rain on the way.
