Sky was quite a pretty orange colour last night - light pollution reflecting off low clouds :-( Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? |

Well we might have warmer weather, but I would trade a cold evening or two for a sight like that. Great Pictures Celt Tooth. |

If it is dark in the north of the UK right now, you are in for a real good show. I can only hope for a display here tonight. |

I couldn’t get any Aurora last night but I did get the Moon, Spica, and Saturn all in the same frame. You can see it here: http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-Moon-Sp-Sat_1329050494.jpg |

We had a cloudy night, but I did get to see the three from time to time. Looked like a dragon's eye peaking at me then disappearing till later. Great image Celt. |

I woke up from a fever at 02:00 not expecting to see any aurora, but lucky for me they were up there. So much for the predictions that Space.com puts out for aurora. I am having trouble finding a place in Edmonton that can even order what I want. I’ll keep looking for another week, and then if I don’t find any thing I’ll try some other plan. http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-aura1_1329125336.jpg Edit: Wow, things have just picked up big time.

http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-a1_1329281813.jpg I just had to get up to take these images when Marie told me about the sky. Good night in England for Aurora before the sun comes up. |

I got up again after midnight and the show was still going on. http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Ian-Russell-IMG_1703_1329290882.jpg |

Very cool. We are in for it again tonight. A full blown solar storm, and no clouds here! |

Nasa posted a nice video of the solar flare. Expect some spectacular lights. |

That flare was so bright it was messing with the camera. You can see that after the flare it looks like a tidal wave running from upper left to lower right of the sun. This one is big! |
