Aurora display tonight Aug 3rd - head to the dark places

Post by macdoc » Tue Aug 03, 2010 8:30 pm

Aurora alert: The Sun is waking up
The Sun's surface erupted and blasted tons of plasma into space Sunday. That plasma is headed our way, and when it arrives, it could create a spectacular light show.

Auroras here are damned near as common as clouds, but I will look anyway. Thanks for the heads-up!

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

I don't know if anyone else in this part of the world could see it, but I didn't.

Did any of you get to see this?
