  1. I am pi..ed off: last week the forecast for the Aurora was awesome for northern Wyoming so I drove two times 400 miles to get there. NOTHING.
    And last night you could apparently clearly see it here in the Denver area WHILE I SAT INSIDE ALL NIGHT.

  2. I lived in Northern Canada and the aurora B is one of the most amazing sights in the world.

  3. Thanks for the photos. Beautiful. Or is it ominous? Or both? Seeing the aurora borealis in the frozen tundra is still on my bucket list even if I have to freeze my ass off to see it.

    • I’ve said this before, it’s worth repeating.

      In novenber of 1976 I was on a night time “timeline” where you go out to the missile sites (in northern North Dakota) to do emergency maintenance.
      We happened to be dispatched to a site, and on the way there the Borealis was really, REALLY roaring. We told Job Control we were going to be stopped to see the Lights for about 30 minutes, and the sight was one I cannot forget – they filled the night sky. We lay on t he hood of the truck to keep warm, looking at ALL colors, and you could even see them rippling through the Earth’s magnetic field. In North Dakota there was NO light pollution to speak of, you could easily see the Milky Way when there was no cloud cover (Wintertime was best!) so we had an absolutely spectacular view!

      Pity I’m in Suburbia now… sigh.

  4. The local TV news station posted similar pics to the ones in this article during the weather forecast last night. I went out side several times before midnight to see what I could see and nothing. After I saw the pics on TV I was even more bummed.

    I was a kid of something between seven and nine years old the last time I remember seeing the aurora. It was wavy lime green rippling in the sky. Pretty awesome.

    Thanks for sharing those pics.
