Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights

[City_Sean]

I always thought the song by Renaisance was about the Aurora Borealis, apparently not.

The lead singer was referring to her relationship with Roy Wood……….

Would love to see the real Aurora Borealis though………...

Just a quick heads up. Due to a solar storm there is a strong possibility of Northern Lights being visible in UK tonight., no guarantees though. Those on twitter, @virtualastro is good for updates.

Huge solar storm expected tomorrow evening! Could be a good one! All we need is a clear night!

Quite a clear sky out here now in Bury.
Bright moon, loads of stars, great view on my house roof.

Can you see anything? When you're looking north the light pollution from the city should be behind you.

I was thinking about this earlier, I reckon you'd need to be at least 20 miles from any significant light pollution to stand a chance of seeing anything, clear night or not. Cba. Would be interested in knowing though, for when this forecast comes along again.

 

[Why Always Ste]

Just a normal night to me, just see the Moon and stars.

no amazing lights or anything :(

 

[willipp]

[Blimpin reeny]
