I must leave now. My heart is heavy.

I see one once a year or so, but I'm sure I miss some as well.

I have only ever seen auroras in the dark winter months. Guess they are hard to spot when it is not dark.

I see them year round. I even saw them once, on the longest day of the year, june 22, when we get 17 hrs of sunshine.

I saw an Aurora last year during all that record breaking solar activity, but that's the first and only one I've ever seen. Still, it was pretty neat Smile

Here is another link for Aurora activity on a moment by moment basis:

I saw my first aurora in July 1992 in New Brunswick. It was a family reunion and there were over 500 people in attendance (band, a pig roast, the whole 9 yards). About 11:00 pm in the evening the sky suddenly began to turn into this wild concoction of shimmering multicolored hues. It was a great way to end a party.

Yeah thanks for the hole in the ozone layer you stupid Americans. Because of your overuse of various products, we have a hole in the ozone basically over our heads. We get sunburn very easily. And skin cancer. And yes I am a bloody Australian.

I have a feeling the members of the bastard list will ridicule me for this.
Ahhh well, thats my ramble for the day.

It's better than eating the living. They're just too damn chatty.

Had a bit of a green glow in the night sky in southern Wisconsin a couple of weeks ago, before the clouds rolled in -- they haven't left yet. Not a spectacular show, but the only bit of aurora I've ever seen.

yeah, that spoils the dinner for me every single time!
but. back to aurora, is there any chance of seeing such thing in Boston? I know zilch about the phenomenon, but it sure looks pretty.

Auroral displays are pretty common here in way-upper-left-hand Cheesehead Land. Judgin' by the native folklore, that related by the descendants of pre-Columbian area residents, they always have been.

Dagmara, seeing anything in the light-polluted night sky of Boston is chancy. Even the lunar eclipse wasn't that much of a show. But if you mosey just a bit north of Boston to, say, Maine or New Hampshire or Vermont, you stand a good chance of getting a glimpse. I used to see the auroras from time to time when I was living in southern New Hampshire, no more than 60 or 70 miles north of Boston. Not as often as Timber claims to see them up in his neck of the wilderness, but now and then.
