Subject: Slightly Off-Topic : "Watcher of the Skies".....Northern Lights

From: Jerry Korb <jkorb@...>

Greetings Everyone,

I was wondering if northern members of our List have seen the
Aurora Borealis these last 2-3 days, after the huge solar flare
passed-thru Earth .

At 0030-GMT (1930-EST) , in northern New England,
we were treated to an awesome spectacle of all colours
from all directions, converging overhead. (near 45 N lat.).
More promised over the next 3-4 days.

This was naturally accompanied with the "Watcher....." intro,
followed by the Moodies "Threshold.....Voyage" sequence.
.....What a rush ! ........

I'd hear your stratospheric sightings of Northern Lights,
esp. if witnessed further south. In dark areas, w/o light pollution .

Cheers, Jerry Korb (the Van-Allen Belt is really kool ! )
