Well fuck, I missed them... we went down to the beach one night (a few years back) to watch the meteor showers, and were surprised to find about 20 people there at 11:30 - the beach is usually deserted by 9 or 10 pm.69forever said:Nah...sorry to say. Between the clouds and the city lights. If you're up really late, or really early....check out the fucking meteor showers from the Eastern sky. 3 to 5am or so.
The last time we saw the aurora b. was Sunday night, about 8:45. There were several groupings of vertical streaks in the northern sky... shimmering... mostly white but if you watched long enough you could see some faint color change. Wish I'd had my camera along. I was impressed because I'd never seen them before.
They looked pretty much like this but whitish... http://www.geo.mtu.edu/weather/aurora/images/aurora/myshots/aurora-04.jpg
God, wouldn't you love being able to walk outside at night and seeing this fucking sight? I bet Carrie gets to see the lights a lot from the UP.
