Private: Good night to watch for northern lights!

01-29-2007 - Space

Aurora alert! If you live at a high latitude – Alaska, northern Canada, Scandinavia, and so on – tonight is a good night to look for the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.

Here’s more from the great website “spaceweather.com:”:http://www.spaceweather.com/

“High latitude sky watchers, if it is dark where you live, go outside and look for auroras. A strong geomagnetic storm is “in progress,”:http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/kp_3d.html caused by a solar wind stream which has just hit Earth.”

And here’s “more”:http://www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/ from the National Weather Service’s Space Environment Center.
