Aurora Alert -- spiking now

(1/2) > >>

rodekyll:
Looks like a solar storm in progress.  We've got a partly cloudy night ahead, so I'll be out trying for some -- and for my first look at the comet.  It's directly under the left lower point of Cassiopeia tonight, if anyone has the urge to look.  It's at +5 brightness, which is right at the threshold for your peripheral vision.  Binocs would be handy.

lucydad:
Clear and cold here tonight...but my motivation is low.

Yet another reason to retire from my irrelevant career working with bullshitters:  late nights pondering the Universe.

slowmover:
We must be in the same line of work.

Nic in Western NYS:
Unrelated astro post- Moon, Venus, and Mars together in the evening sky tonight and tomorrow.

Sasquatch Jim:
  It will have to spark without my help.
  If it won't see fit to make itself visible below the tropic of cancer,
  I'm not going to help it at all.
