Fly up to Fairbanks in the spring and fall they are SUUUUUPER cool. Flying in you can almost feel the radiation mutating your genes! Excuse me while I go cut off this 3rd hand that's growing out my side. Joking aside, it is really cool to get up there and 35,000' and seeing them dance.MPMalloy wrote:Seeing the AB is something on my bucket list.Confucius wrote:Fingers crossed for a light show here in Montana tonight...

From ABC (Australia): Space weather and the very real risks the Sun poses to Earth
During the depths of the Vietnam War a series of American mines exploded, apparently without cause. No ships were in the area to trigger them and espionage was ruled out.
The official explanation reads like a science-fiction novel: a cloud of plasma ejected from the Sun collided with and compressed Earth's magnetic field, causing the spontaneous explosions.
A recent research paper has reconfirmed the long-held suspicions that space weather was to blame.
And according to Dr Richard Marshall from the Bureau of Meteorology's space weather team, who wasn't part of the study, the results are far from fictional.
So how does space weather work and what are the potential consequences for our increasingly tech-dependent world?

I took the liberty of moving this topic to an area I think better suits it. I also shortened the title a little. If you disagree with these changes MP, just let me know and I'll revert everything back the way it was. This topic may also be stickied at some point in time, should it generate enough interest.
