Is that in the Southern Hemisphere as well?

[deathrow]

i would like to see one but i live to far south :\

[egarrard]

Is that in the Southern Hemisphere as well?Probably. Since the radiation hits the earth near the equator (or just above), its energy should be divided fairly equally.

Marvellous - I'll keep an eye out.

As an added bonus, I can post form work again! :thumb

I'm a Tech Assistant at a local theater called the Aurora Center.

That's about as close as I'll be getting to them tonight.

Typical scenario, I'm well situated, but it's cloudy :(

I've seen some awesome 'light shows' on other occasions, many when I was living up in Ft St John BC. Many a late night return from a remote site has required a stop on a cut line to just get out of the truck and enjoy, nothing beats observing Hale-Bopp competing against a backdrop of Northern Lights (is backdrop the correct word? The Northern Lights are actually in our atmosphere, Hale Bopp wasn't... lets call it front drop)

Mighty powerful stuff when your over a hundred miles from civilization, you look up and you see a massive starfield, Northern lights, a single bright comet... it pretty much puts your position in the grand scheme of things

Oh man, what I wouldn't give to be kin that position. :Sigh

Never get to see them from my vantage point. Yesterday's clouds didn't help either :grumble

But you really have to get out of civilization to see them right.
