Hope someone gets to see the aurora borealis this weekend.
quote:
Americans as far south as Alabama and Northern California could be treated to a show of the northern lights this weekend from a powerful geomagnetic storm heading toward Earth, officials said. If the weather conditions are right, people in several areas on a map could look up and see the aurora borealis.
The storm has prompted government forecasters to warn of potential disruptions to communications systems, the power grid and satellite operations, but it could also put on a fantastic light display in the night sky.
"The gift from space weather is the aurora," Rob Steenburgh, a space scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center, told reporters Friday morning.
Cloud cover and rain here in NYC overnight. But have seen good pictures from upstate.

Definitely clearer and more vibrant with the camera. We could see pale colours with the naked eye, but our vision receptors are way less sensitive than the camera when it comes to seeing colour.
