colterphoto1 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 anyone seeing this tonight? we've got some low clouds and it's been very humid so it could be heat lightning that I'm seeing- but up North is a very pretty light show from about midnight until now.

kevinmi Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I saw on the news yesterday that there was going to be some kind of disturbance on the surface of the Sun that would allow the Northern Lights to be seen in lower areas. I'm in the middle of Michigan, and with clear skies tonight there was nothing but stars at 3 am. I can usually see the lights a few times a year, and they are awesome to behold. Kinda like God's Light Show! Glad you had a chance to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael hurd Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yes, I did see them up in the frozen tundra here... I took a few grainy pictures, but they were in town. I had a 5 hour long tow call, should have brought the camera, as the colors were wild, and the shapes were changing rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 An astronomer friend of mine 25 years ago saw the lights from Kitt Peak in Arizona. He got mentioned in Time or Newsweek for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
