Aurora Borealis / Northern Lights

Tonight (May 30th), there is an increased chance of seeing the Northern Lights. You need to be south of the 55th parallel (USA readers are fine, unless in Alaska), have an unimpeded view of the northern horizon and NO light pollution on the northern horizon, or in your immediate vicinity. Those using shortwave or mediumwave radio may experience severe interference.

  1. I swa it once in southern England about twenty years ago! I'd love to see it from where you are, the skies fascinate me! I've read that it was once seen in Rome hundreds of years ago. I hope you see it tonight! Jeannette x

  2. It doesn't get dark here, so I won't be able to see the Northern Lights myself.

  3. No way to see it from here. I'm smack in the middle of a city.
