Who isn't transfixed at the beauty of shimmering curtains and ripples marching across the vast dark night heavens...the constellations sparkling through them as diamonds on velvet ? I watch for light events from several sources, NASA, CSA, and groups who keep track of sun storm activity to make videos . There is supposed to be a sizable sun storm influencing this beautiful planet's Electromagnetic field tonight on into the weekend....large enough to hopefully allow more southerly states to view them . Rain and snow has also been covering the region of the west here, all day. I'm not complaining, after last summer's dryness. There is supposed to be clearing, however, tomorrow , and who knows for other areas in the country and Canada...but in case the skies clear, keep looking up. Lately, there have been some astounding flares, making for lovely shots and videos from locals in various countries around the northern pole. The lovely song by David Mallett is in my mind now..."Northern Lights".... The first link is one of my favorites , CSA , which gives shots of the lights in real time every night and reviews of the former night in fast time. A great site to browse around in. Keep looking up ! https://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/northern-lights/auroramax-observatory.asp

It's supposed to be mostly cloudy in FAI all weekend. I'm afraid there will be limited opportunity to see them.

Here's some more shots from the same areas, very recent, just a few days old. Very powerful sun events going on now. I have seen the sky here and in N Idaho lit up like daytime , several years ago. In all the colours you can imagine. Seems like there's a good chance it will clear up tonight. As the sun storms hit the earth's poles I will keep things updated here as to what others in Alaska , Canada, Norway, Lapland, Iceland, Russia, and others are catching on cam. Many are also sharing astounding videos. On the CSA link posted here, below the live cam , click on " Video of auroras from previous nights" . Last night's video is posted in fast time. Partway in, it begins a bit. The latest sun hit is beginning. It even looks neat through the clouds. Tonight should really show. I love the Northland....

I saw them several times, they make ya think.
I only ever saw them here twice in my lifetime but lots of times while in Canada. Hippie ...you sure it was the lights...or just bad acid ,back in the day ....
