Some potential for power and communication problems.

Too bad there is some cloud cover and a bright moon tonight.  Those will make seeing the Northern Lights a non starter.

That and I will be in bed.

That’s amazing!  YOU"RE the one who watches MSNBC.  I was wondering who that might be.  :wink:

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR!!! The sun is exploding!!! Run for your life!

I would love to see some Aurora again.  Alas, it is the full moon of March here. :-[

Huh, I thought you were the space guy.  Being all fair and balanced, you knew all about it: :smiley:

I will be up early, perhaps I can get some views in.  Thanks for the heads up.

Believe it or don’t I first heard about it from George Noory on Coast to Coast AM.
Usually I find out about space weather [u]HERE[/u]

Apparently, the full moon may not matter.

Check out this video taken last night, Lake Superior : http://vimeo.com/38094084

You might enjoy THIS.

Ah yes, DSLR stop-motion video.  I do that too, but no aurora to shoot this far south.

They are a great site too.  Lots of good info and links.

Have you checked out the SOHO movies [u]HERE[/u]  Great stuff from SOHO!

“I thought if the world were going to end we were meant to lie down, or put a paper bag over our head or something…That’s what they told us in the army.”

Haha, they did not.

Maybe, but try and convince Ford Prefect of it.

I heard someone built a second Earth, with nicer fjords.

Pining for the fjords, are we?

No, just another reference to Slartybartfast.

Pining for aurora?  Forecast HERE

Dang, you ain’t kidding.  Can’t have it all brother.  :wink:

Vimeo HD on the 46" screen is still pretty cool though!

Looks like another wave headed this way for Sunday night. 
Wish I was kicking it in the Yukon right now.

Puna!  Solar Tsunami!

In my best Ford Fairlane voice, “Solar Tsunami’s? Huh! I’ve surfed 'em.”.  8)
