The highest number of sunspots in nearly a year and a half, and a huge coronal mass ejection–maybe some auroras tonight, with probability of more to come for a while. It’s still not quite really dark at night here yet, so people at lower latitudes might have a chance of seeing them sooner than I will.

Whoohoo! I’m usually in just the right place for the big ones, so I’ll try to get out there. Too bad I have work at 5 am
Just once I’d like to make it to Alaska to see the Northern Lights…to see stars the way they’re supposed to be seen…and to see a day without darkness.
That would involve about a year’s stay, wouldn’t it. Hmmm…someday yeah.
