10/24/2011 10:08:54 PM

Probably just means our poles are switching.

10/24/2011 10:10:25 PM

seeing the Aurora Borealis has been one of my life goals since i ever had the idea of life goals

it'd be cool to see it from my front yard, but not as cool as if i had to travel to the Arctic first

10/24/2011 10:15:12 PM

10/24/2011 10:21:29 PM

also def not happening for me in my light polluted city shoved way down south

10/25/2011 12:58:28 AM

I was so bummed to not see them when I was up in Montana by the Canada border 2 years ago... I WILL see them before I die.

Just like seeing the run rise over the Atlantic and set over the Pacific on the same day.

10/25/2011 1:00:41 AM

MMMM MMMMM

STEAMED HAMS

10/25/2011 2:44:20 AM

Poland is joining the axis?

10/25/2011 3:17:32 AM

Oh, not in Utica, no. It's an Albany expression.

10/25/2011 7:35:13 AM

^^^^I've seen the sun rise and set over the Atlantic in the same day...It's pretty cool.


I also have a goal of seeing the northern lights.

10/25/2011 9:17:19 AM

I tried every night when I went caribou hunting up north of yellowknife. no luck.

10/25/2011 9:26:42 AM

I remember back in 1999 I think it was when you could see them in Raleigh one night and people were flipping out

10/25/2011 9:31:42 AM

And you call them steamed hams despite the fact they are obviously grilled

wat

10/25/2011 10:18:28 AM

right time of the year on a south-facing beach. nothing special.

10/25/2011 10:22:57 AM

May I see it?

10/25/2011 10:43:36 AM

Oh, erm... No

10/25/2011 10:46:08 AM

The reason the aurora borealis could be seen so far south last night is the result of a very large coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun recently. It is highly unusual to see them down this far south.

And I missed them

10/25/2011 10:55:55 AM

Reverend Cleophus: "Do you see the light!?"

Jake Blues: "The Band."

10/25/2011 6:03:09 PM

Be prepared if this happens much more in the near future shit is gonna start breaking. The sun has been quite active lately and all it takes is an X class flare to happen while its pointed right at us to make sure everyone can see the northern lights because everyones power will stop working. Sounds fun until the mass hysteria begins!

10/25/2011 6:08:19 PM

I saw them from Jordan Lake about a decade ago. They looked like giant red curtains.

10/25/2011 6:16:10 PM

10/25/2011 6:31:57 PM

I never ever saw the northern lights, I never really heard of cluster flies

not possible on a mainland so this had to be on an island. bermuda? iceland?

[Edited on October 25, 2011 at 9:52 PM. Reason : impossible unless canary islands?]

10/25/2011 9:52:19 PM

Atlantic Beach

South facing beach and in the fall and winter you can see the sun rise and set over the ocean.


See them again tonight? or was it just last night?

I've seen the sun set and rise over the Atlantic within an 8 hour period. From 35,000 feet.
