Same here Foz. Not that we would see it here anyway. I have to content myself with the permanent glow from all the bright street lighting. Roll Eyes

It always seems to be the same when these spectacular displays are promised. Brilliant weather for weeks until the day it happens, then Bingo.......! The heavens open. I remember the fiasco when they planned to broadcast a rare sighting of some celestial body live on TV. Only chance we would see it in several hundred years & what happens? All we got to see was a layer of low cloud. I could have told them not to waste their time. LOL Grin

Has anyone seen the Northern lights within the last few days yet?

Right now there's only scattered clouds so I should hopefully be able to see them tonight.

Been cloudy here every night so far, I've been seeing pictures taken the last couple of nights on spaceweather.com of awesome northern lights from a lot of places much farther south than me, now they are saying it's supposed to rain here until Sunday, it just figures.

&&Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...&&

Hi Doug,

Don't feel to ( is it 'to' or 'too' ??? Grin

) bad. When I lived over by Seattle, I missed out on seeing a comet, meteor showers, and even a Lunar Eclipse, all because it was cloudy Roll Eyes

But I remember a couple years ago a big meteor shower was predicted for a saturday night, but it was cloudy. We were all depressed untill we heard it wasn't untill the next saturday, and it was a clear night. I spent almost the entire night with some friends watching the shower. The meteors were coming down fast. there were atleast a couple every second, and every 10-20 minutes, there would be a large meteor. It was so large that when it came through the atmosphere, it exploded, lighting up the entire sky. The explosion was quite loud, and the puff of whatever was left stayed put for over 10 minutes Shocked

That was one of the best nights i've ever had! 8)
