Quoting:
Anyone see it last nite?
"There was a solar event facing Earth on the 22nd of October. We estimate that the shock should arrive at Earth around 1900 Greenwich Mean Time on the 24th. If it is on time, that will be Sunday evening in Europe and the USA. If it is early, it will be Saturday night in Alaska and Russia.
It is difficult to judge the extent of the aurora, but the shock will arrive simultaneously with a fast stream in the solar wind, so we would expect that the aurora will be visible in Southern Scandinavia, Northern Europe, Northern US, (perhaps in the northern sky from Oregon, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and points north).
Check the northern sky anytime during the night, but mostly around midnight on Saturday and Sunday nights."
If anyone has a clear view and can take a picture and post it here: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/464606/
she would really appreciate it. Will be checking the skies here tonight but someone else may get a better shot.
