The Sun is playing up again. In a Big way. The largest solar flare ever recorded has unleashed billions of tonnes of superhot gas into space and apparently some of it is coming our way. Nothing to worry about - unless you have money invested in some satellites that will get hit or use short wave radio - but if you have good dark and cloudless skies near you, you may just get lucky and get to see the Aurora Borealis. Get out there and take a look. It's raining here. :+(

Or me, for that matter. I've never seen an aurora. At least not while sober.

Posted by: Joe at November 6, 2003 08:43 AMA friend told me he saw it the other night. Of course, he lives somewhere rural in Indiana. I was so jealous. I've never seen it.
