Northern Lights

[Scapanapper]

We have a fine display of the "Merry Dancers" ( Northern Lights) here in Orkney tonight. There is a bright green spoke and wheel effect across the whole sky.

As an experiment leave your PCs for a few minutes go outside and look up. Let's see how far south they can be seen. Reports please.

 

Cheers

Scapa

Hiya,

 

We seen them for the first time on the Tuesday night after Spasor had caught his 205lb skate, a very fitting end to a very special day

 

Just checked .. no sign of them here in Clydebank

Nothing yet in Ripon although it is a bit light to the north.

Nowt in Silsden either.....what a suprise! I've only seen them once before but it was a very inspirational night. Everyone should travel as far North as they can once in their lives.

Leon, read the report..

 

"The speed at which the flare arrived is just the latest unusual event in a turbulent week on the Sun. The solar cycle peaked in 2000, which is when most activity was expected. But two massive sunspots and a number of flares have been seen in the last seven days."

 

We are doomed, doomed!
