Topic awaiting preservation: Aurora Coming

Check this from the Space Weather Centre
Earth is feeling the effects of a solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole on the sun. Sky watchers should be alert for possible auroras tonight. The best viewing sites will be at high latitudes: e.g., southern parts of New Zealand and Australia, northern Europe, Canada and northern US states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Geomagnetic activity could intensify further on May 29th or 30th when CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections) en route to Earth arrive.

Hey, no complaining, equator-boy!

You equatorial-types are about a pound lighter than people near the poles, you know!

That gives them both an unfair advantage over the ones in between: equatorials an average lighter weigth and the pole-people get to see the northern lights. shucks...I was really born in the wrong place..

lol I have never seen aurora before, apart from after those little black pills. It's rare in the UK.

that's today, May 29.

Yannah, you have a perfect grasp of the obvious.

I live in Minnesota... I'll try and get some pics, Petskull.

[EDIT]Is it just me or does this sound like a pR0n video description?
