Low resolution camera pictures of visible light in the night sky from the University of Iowa: - For those of you not able to see it in your night sky.

10. Sad that. Most apparitions in the night sky
are obsured by clouds around here.

4. Cool!!!!!!...
I saw them years ago in AK. Was at Ft Wainwright for training and got to see them. Also watched my spit, as well as my pee freeze before it hit the snow. It was -62F. At that point, windchill didn't matter.

Hope I get to see the Aurora tonight!

:bounce:

5. everytime the auroral activity gets up to a 10 on NOAA's charts
we have cloud cover. Tonight it is snowing like it means business here too. :grr:

Normally, I love the snow and we sure need the wet, but man, I am sorry to be missing the show out there tonight.

8. Oh yeah...
somewhere between 120th and 145th.

The University of Iowa has a webcam set up to study the transactions of truckers and crack whores.
