Aurora Borealis tonight and tomorrow (Saturday and Sunday)

[molyflogs.livejournal.com]

A pretty darn impressive sunspot eruption has sent a coronal mass ejection our way, and we should be able to see the aurora borealis at our latitude tonight and tomorrow night. The forecasts are difficult to really pin down, as far as where the grand show will be visible, and sometimes, they're way off and you can't see anything, and other times, they're way off and you can see them right overhead. But yes, there should be visible aurora activity tonight.

You're not going to be able to see them in the city... there's just way too much light pollution. It also may or may not be cloudy. Right now, the forecast for tonight is partly cloudy and for tomorrow is mostly cloudy. Partly cloudy is fine, though! 

When this happens, we tend to head up to Gloucester. It's dark enough there.
